“One of the best, if not THE best team of swim coaches in Hong Kong. Whether you’re a seasoned swimmer, a triathlete, or a novice just getting started, the Swim Lab offers a variety of training, skill work, and planning to meet most people’s short and long term goals. The program also incorporates open water swimming skills in both the pool and open ocean...in case any of you are planning on training for a triathlon.”

“Through careful analysis of my technique and stroke, and considered advice, Fenella has shown me not only how to be faster in the water, but also more efficient. Fenella was able to detect problem areas in my swim that I was completely unaware of, and through her suggestions and tips I’ve been able to work on these areas, resulting in not only coming out of the water earlier, but also feeling more confident and fresh. Dare I say I even enjoy the swim now.”

“These last five years have been amongst the happiest of my life, and the fellowship, fitness and competition of training and racing have played an enormous part in this time. Your commitment to sport, to swimming, the team culture and to all of us whom you coach has been inspirational, and I wanted to thank you both sincerely for it.”

“I really appreciate the access to top coaches in HK. Through the technique course and now squad training, they have helped me not only become a stronger swimmer, but someone who enjoys swimming!”
“I have been attending swimming training with AM and Fen for the past 6 years. It’s fun, varied and most definitely makes a difference to my speed and fitness. I never believed I would be able to complete an Ironman swim without drowning but managed it quite comfortably after putting the time in to training – I highly recommend Swim Lab!”

“I have at last found a program that clicks with me, a program where I am being coached as an individual but allows me to enjoy the dynamics of group training. Sessions are never dull or repetitive, with goals tailored to my needs making each session meaningful and rewarding. Thank you for all your expertise, advice and tips.”

“The Video Analysis session with Annemarie was great. Nothing better than seeing myself swim and getting immediate feedback. Must try!”
“Since working with AM and Fen my swimming and fitness has improved significantly. When I was training for the Hong Kong - Macau swim they helped me to ensure my stroke was more efficient and stroke rate was more consistent. Every session without exception I received feedback and support which was encouraging and assertive.”

“When I started with Swim Lab Asia, I was a complete rookie from swim to bike and run & had never done any triathlons in my life. So I decided to work on my swim with them. Lo and behold, my first session with them, I almost killed myself lol. Now when I looked back after a year with them, my swim technique has changed, my stroke rate is better and I reckon my endurance and speed have also improved. Without their guidance, I wouldn’t have come this far. Needless to say, my fear to swim in the open water has been lessened thanks to these coaches.”

“Swim Lab has been great for me. When I started, I could barely swim 100m but with patient coaching and hard work I am now enjoying 2km open water swim races and its no longer the weak leg of a triathlon that has to be done to get to the real part!! Thanks coaches Fen, Dick and AM! ”

“Fen and A.M are excellent coaches. They know each of our thresholds and personalities and are able to give us key points to focus on, with just the right paces to push further... you can’t hide from their eyes! Our swim sessions vary a lot and are never boring, and usually come with a few surprises too! I always feel great when I finish my session.”
“A friend talked me into joining the Swim Lab program as an alternative to trail running that had taken a toll of me. At the time it seemed a good way to reconnect with a childhood sport, but three years on, it has become part of my fitness regime. Under the guidance of coaches AM, Fen and co, I developed the confidence to swim my first open water race and then swam it again the following year with an improved time. Swim Lab is the only explanation I have for why I would drag myself to the pool before sunrise!”

“The session was a mental positive step change for me. I have been procrastinating swim training for a long time and was pretty scared going into the session, but I emerged feeling fantastic and encouraged (longest swim ever in my life). My perception of swimming has changed so much from only just one session, I can’t imagine what will happen if I continue with this. And the amount of learning I took way from one session was phenomenal. So thank you for that.”
