World Triathlon has confirmed the renewal of its partnership with Swim Smooth, extending a collaboration that began in 2014. A renewed partnership will see Swim Smooth’s coaching resources integrated into the new Swim Smooth GURU platform, aiming to elevate coaching standards in 119 countries across World Triathlon’s national federations.
Since 2014, Swim Smooth has provided World Triathlon with written, video, and presentation materials for its sport development coaching courses. The renewed partnership will embed these resources directly into World Triathlon’s coach Education Hub. This aims to facilitate a more seamless and effective learning experience for triathlon coaches worldwide. The partnership will launch with a pilot project in Korea before expanding internationally.
Marisol Casado, World Triathlon President and IOC Member, said “For World Triathlon, we are always thrilled to partner with companies that allow us to continue investing in education and new learning methodologies.
“We are really proud to modernize our coach education processes through access to Swim Smooth’s patented technology. This partnership marks a significant step forward in enhancing the quality and reach of our coaching programs.”
Paul Newsome, Head Coach and Founder of Swim Smooth, said “We are delighted to extend our partnership with the world governing body of triathlon. This collaboration opens access to our patented swimming technology and world-renowned methodology, furthering our mission to improve swimming and triathlon coaching worldwide.”
Jon Allars, Head of Product at Swim Smooth, added “Embedding the Swim Smooth GURU within World Triathlon’s learning infrastructure will profoundly impact their coach mentoring process. This achievement is a testament to the vision, dedication, and hard work of our team of passionate Swim Smooth Coaches who’ve been integral to this development.”
