Are You Hitting a Wall?

You spend hours in the pool every week. You follow the sets. But your times have plateaued. You see other swimmers getting selected for regional and national squads, and you know you have the drive, but something is missing.

The difference between a good swimmer and an elite swimmer isn't just more laps. It's a smarter, holistic, and individual plan.

The HPY Solution: A 360° Approach

HPY is not a swim club. It's a private consultancy designed to complement your current club training. Head Coach Mick McCormack works with you individually to build the missing pieces of your athletic puzzle.
