Program Testimonials:
As someone totally new to swimming aiming to become
competitive in the triathlon, the program has been just what I needed. Craig
took the time to break everything down and teach correct technique first, which
made me comfortable going into the sessions. The workouts are individualized,
but it's been great to have other people to push me.

"As a lifelong swimmer, I hadn't seen a significant reduction in my swim times for years despite continued hard work in the pool. In just a few months of work with Craig, I've seen my mile open water swim time drop 45 seconds. I was certain I'd need to swim every day to see those gains, but with Craig we've done it on just 3 swims per week."

"As a pro/elite long course
triathlete and full time multisport coach, I have a keen
appreciation for the importance that efficiency plays when it comes
to preparing for competition. Unfortunately, far too many endurance
athletes fail to realize that effective training does not
necessarily mean putting their heads down and pushing as hard as
possible day in, day out, especially when it comes to swimming.
As someone who does not come
from a swimming background, I’m well aware of just how important
proper technique is when it comes to improving your abilities in the
water. For years, I suffered through countless hours of masters and
solo swim sessions. My best efforts failed to yield much in the
line of improvement when competition rolled around, and, by the fall
of 2009, I had all but given up on my quest to improve as a
swimmer. I figured that I would forever be known as that guy who
could “only” bike and run.
Enter Craig Lewin and the
North Shore Swim Club.
In the 3 months or so that
I’ve began working with Craig, I have already improved my swim
performances by roughly 10%. Craig’s expertise and constant
feedback has slowly but surely allowed me to overhaul my swim stroke
and become a much more efficient and faster swimmer. Although I
will admit that his practices are anything but easy, I have complete
confidence in Craig’s approach and am actually excited about what
the future holds in store for my swim performances as I move forward
with the rest of the ‘09 season and for many seasons to come.
I would highly recommend Craig
and the North Shore Swim Club to any serious athlete who’s really
looking to improve in the water. You’ll be hard pressed to find a
swim coach of his caliber in the Boston area."
