About Damien Wildes

Originally from Greystones in Co. Wicklow, Damien has spent much of his life in, on and around the water. From surfing and sailing to swimming and paddle-boarding, the sea has played an important role in his life from a young age. A naturally competitive individual, Damien was drawn to the world of Open Water racing competing for podiums in distance of anywhere between 1500m and 10km.

SWIM HARDER, FASTER FOR LONGER

This passion for performance and improvement led to him securing both his Level 2 Swim Coach and Level 2 Open Water Coach certificates as he now targets coaching and preparing swimmers for open water and triathlon events.

With vast experience in preparing and developing plans coupled with his understanding of the water and qualifications, Damien is ideally placed to help you achieve your goals in the water and get you set for your next event.

  • I've always found it challenging to boost my technique and speed. But in just 8 weeks, under the expert guidance of Damien my swimming has dramatically improved. Not only has my technique improved, but I am able to swim faster with less effort. I highly recommend this training to anyone looking to elevate their swimming skills. Damien's coaching is a game-changer for those seeking to excel in the water

  • I really enjoyed the eight week training block with Flow State Swimming. Each week Damien focused the sessions on a particular technique (arms, feet, breathing etc..) and I noticed big improvements in all areas as the weeks went on. Damien is a great coach, very encouraging and wants all his clients to succeed in their swimming goals. I learnt a lot and I'm looking forward to the next block where hopefully further improvements in my swimming will be made.

  • Damien really knows his stuff and more importantly, knows how to teach it. His attention to detail and ability to spot the smallest inefficiencies in my stroke has taken 5 seconds off my 100m PB in only 8 sessions. His approach to teaching technique is simple and transferable to your own pool sessions where you start to implement the changes and really notice improvements.
