Testimonials

"I approached Craig to help me with a training plan for a 52km swim across Lake Ontario in 2021.

I was impressed with the attention to detail that Craig had put into my training schedule. The plan he came up with was put together just for me and my specific goal.  It was not a one plan that suits all kind of plan.  Craig was available to chat when I needed an experienced ear to calm me down, he gave me nutrition tips, and mental training tips.  

Craig is the coach I would 100% recommend to anyone taking on marathon swim training. You can trust his experience and track record of successful swims that he’s done, and also that of the others he’s coached.”

“Craig helped me prepare for a successful English Channel swim with only four months lead time. He designed a great training program that was flexible enough to allow for inevitable workout disruptions and robust enough to ensure my ultimate success. Although we were on opposite sides of the Atlantic, he was always readily available by text and he was tremendously supportive during regular video chats. His encouragement gave me the confidence to achieve my goal. Craig’s coaching was the best investment I made during my English Channel training.”

"It was a true joy working with Coach Craig. He is a wealth of knowledge and experience and supports you toward your goal, as crazy as it might be. He designed my training plan for my staged swim around Manitoulin Island, kept me accountable with regular meetings, and networked me with some of his other athletes. Coach Craig is someone you want in your corner!."
