About Us

Total Swimming is the brainchild of Olympic swimming medallist Steve Parry and provides support and training through swimming lessons, swimming club activities and other projects. Throughout his 20 year career Steve has had great success, experienced euphoric highs and desperate lows. However, throughout his whole career Steve ENJOYED every minute of his journey.

Along with former training partner and fellow Olympian Adrian Turner, the two decided that after retiring they did not want to abandon the sport they loved and that had given them so much both in and out of the pool. They have brought together their vast knowledge and experience to develop a one-stop-shop of swimming lessons and swimming club activities, for the future stars of swimming, their families and their coaches.

Despite being 'experts' in swimming, the first thing they did was to ask questions and listen. They consulted both senior and junior swimmers, Olympic coaches, psychologists, nutritionists and commercial businesses. By adding this research to their own experience, they formed a philosophy around every aspect of the sport.

The Total Swimming Model

Total Swimming is a fun, interactive and informative resource which has been consciously developed by swimmers for swimmers.

1)The Total Swimmer knows individually what they want to achieve and takes the risk of pursuing this dream.

2) The Total Swimmer embraces those people who seek to help them in pursuit of this dream.

3) Most swimmers already work hard when they're in the water but The Total Swimmer works on all the aspects of their sport - the physical, mental, technical and social spheres.
