I’m a 46-year-old visually impaired paratriathlete competing internationally, and I only started swimming in my late thirties with absolutely no swimming background whatsoever. I first approached Eetu after being impressed by his videos on social media, which explained swimming mechanics in a way that really clicked for me. At the time, although I had made significant progress over six years of swimming, I felt my threshold pace had plateaued and I was still finding swimming difficult at times, particularly in terms of developing feel for the water. We initially began working together through regular online sessions and support. I would send videos of my swimming, and Eetu would analyse them in detail, providing drills, technical feedback, and clear approaches to work on between sessions. This was followed by a three-day in-person swim camp in Finland, where we trained with two x two-hour swim sessions each day. I can honestly say it was the single most helpful swimming technique development experience I’ve had in the six years since I started swimming. One of the biggest mindset shifts from working with Eetu has been the mantra that triathletes often “have the will but lack the skill” when it comes to swimming. That completely changed how I approached the sport. Rather than treating swimming like cycling or running, I began focusing on developing a relationship with the water, improving feel, and understanding movement and efficiency at a much deeper level. Initially, Eetu oversaw the technical aspects of my swimming and stroke development. However, he now manages all aspects of my swim training, including planning and monitoring my swim sessions throughout the week, which has been invaluable and exactly the change I needed. I can honestly say that Eetu is the best swim coach I’ve ever worked with, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to take their swimming to the next level, particularly those wanting to improve the technical side of their swimming.
