SWIMS
Owner and founder of Swimfast, Sue Young, has been sharing her passion for swimming for over a decade and has helped hundreds of swimmers swim faster!
​
Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, Sue has coached a wide range of swimmers - from age group swimmers, triathletes and open water swimming enthusiasts to aspirant English Channel swimmers.
​
Having completed a number of triathlons, long distance open water swims and ocean crossings, Sue understands the dedication and time it takes to reach swim goals.
​
Swimfast has evolved out of Sue’s passion for swimming, years of experience as an open water swimmer and a strong desire to help others.
She works exclusively with adult open-water freestyle swimmers who want to go further, stay injury free getting there.​
​
The Winter Training Squad she built is the only structured cold-water acclimatisation programme of its kind in South Africa. Her swimmers are aknowledged by Big Bay Events as coming well prepared for the Robben Island crossing challenge.
​
Every session, every plan, every piece of content she produces comes back to one method: See, Feel, Do.
​
Sue can help you make the training time spent in the water, highly efficient and effective. She can help you transform your swimming and improve your performance.
