Mentoring Programmes by an Olympian
 for Club Swimmers

1:1 Mentoring Calls
 with Head Coach & Olympian Ed Sinclair
At Maximum Performances, our 1:1 Mentoring Calls are structured performance development sessions — delivered in a way that feels supportive, focused and personal.
Each call is carefully designed to give swimmers clarity, confidence and practical direction. While the conversation feels relaxed and approachable, every session follows a clear performance framework tailored to the swimmer’s age, level and goals.
What makes these mentoring calls so powerful is Ed’s unique coaching style. Complex technical and performance concepts are broken down into simple, age-relevant explanations that young swimmers can immediately understand and apply in training and competition. Nothing is overcomplicated. Nothing is generic.
This ability to translate Olympic-level experience into clear, actionable steps is why competitive club swimmers and their families value these sessions so highly.
Swimmers leave each call not just motivated — but equipped with a structured plan they can put into practice straight away.
