About X SWIM ACADEMY
X Swim Academy is a Hunters Hill swim coaching outfit dedicated to helping committed swimmers and water polo players sharpen their technique and lift their performance in the water. Rather than learn-to-swim basics, the academy focuses on athletes who already understand the fundamentals and want to refine their stroke, build fitness and chase competitive goals.
A defining feature of the coaching is the use of underwater video, giving swimmers instant visual feedback so they can see exactly what their body is doing and make meaningful corrections in real time. The programme runs in term-aligned clinics and more intensive holiday clinics, the latter combining in-pool work with the wider building blocks of athletic development such as nutrition, sleep, gym routines and pre-race activation.
Founded by experienced elite swimmers with backgrounds in sport and exercise science, X Swim Academy in Hunters Hill is geared towards developing swimmers aged around ten and up, including dedicated sessions for local water polo players. It's a focused, performance-minded environment for young athletes who are serious about getting faster and training smarter in the pool.
