We take pride in delivering world-class service to all of our clients. Read what some of our satisfied clients have said about us!
"As part of the Hollyburn Masters swim group John has been my coach since November 2007. I began doing triathlons in 2004 and quickly realized how important the swim was. It’s not that you have to win the swim, however you do need to be close to the top group if you plan to finish on the podium. Over the four years that John and I have worked together he has certainly helped improve my swimming to the point where it has enabled me to win a number of local triathlons including two Canadian National Championships (2008 & 2009) for my age group and a 2nd place finish in the 2008 ITU World Championships. In addition to keeping our workouts interesting, John is the reliable coach that everyone needs. In fact, over the 4 years of working with John I can’t even remember a time when he was late and considering we’re in the pool at 6:30 am that’s a pretty strong track record.
I have certainly enjoyed the years in working with John and look forward to many more good years."

"Thank you for your patience and guidance from the pool deck! Your coaching played a huge role in getting me through my first triathlon. Many Thanks."Blake H., June 2012
"I first met John about 5 years ago in his capacity as a coach for my sons’ competitive swim team. During that time I was impressed with his ability to motivate the kids on the team to train hard and put out their best effort.
John’s role has evolved and he has now been my coach for the Hollyburn Masters Swim program for several years. He is always personable, engaged and reliable. He can somehow make even the toughest workout manageable and enjoyable. He certainly has improved my level of swimming and I look forward to training with him anywhere from two to four times per week.
I certainly would recommend John as an excellent coach and trainer. I look forward to many more years of working with him!"
Victor Chow, March 2013
"I trained with John in preparation for a number of long-course triathlons including an Ironman. John's attention to detail and experience allowed to me to set successive Personal Bests by several minutes in each of those races. That would not have been possible without John's coaching. If you want to improve, John is your man".
