Raymond's OWS

Call, text, message or email me if you wanna book a session. Quite flexible with times so get in touch and we'll work something out 👌

Midlands based coaching at either Lough Owel or Lough Lene. Two perfect venues for open water swimming. If you have another spot in mind where you would like to swim, let me know!

Hi I'm Raymond and I'm an STA Level 2 Open Water Swimming Coach. I qualified under World Champion and Olympic Medallist Keri-anne Payne, specialising in the straight line swimming method.

I've always been a water baby, absolutely obsessed with the water and grew up swimming in clubs and taking part in galas. I stopped swimming all together when I was 17 and didn't swim again properly for another 8 years. I bought my first swimming wetsuit in 2018 and I was hooked again, this time on open water swimming. I'm very excited to finally start my coaching journey and share my love of open water swimming with you.

Taking on adults of all ages and ability. Maybe you're a dipper who wants to become more of a swimmer? Maybe you used to swim as a kid and want to get back into it? Maybe you're a triathlete who wants to improve their technique? Maybe you want to get your distance up for an event? Maybe you're none of these things and you just love swimming and want some help to improve! Either way I'd love to hear from you and I'd love to help you out so please get in touch and feel free to share my info with any of the aspiring open water swimmers in your life.

PS if you see me at the lake say hi 👋
