01 / The AURA philosophy
Athlete centered. Always.Performance
is personal.
Every swimmer brings a different body, background, and ambition. That’s where we begin.
We bring together decades of coaching experience with a highly individualized approach to development. Understanding the athlete in front of us. Finding what matters. Building a path forward.
Some swimmers need to solve a technical problem. Others need a complete development plan, or a training environment built around where they want to go next.
Our approach01
Potential
Every athlete has more to discover. We identify what is limiting performance and create a pathway forward.

Presence
Understand your body, your stroke, your decisions, and how you respond under pressure.

Progress, in their words
My daughter has loved working with Sophie. In just a few sessions she has progressed from “B” cuts to “AA” cuts. Sophie clearly breaks down and explains the strokes in a way that is easy to understand and apply. Her attention to detail and focus on the “small things” have resulted in huge improvements. My daughter looks forward to racing now as her confidence and skill have improved significantly.
