Testimonials – Tara Norton Training

“I have always wanted to improve my swimming and feel more confident moving through the water, but it didn’t matter how hard I tried to, I continued to feel insecure in the water. That all changed when I started to train with Tara!

From day one, her patient, encouraging, and personalized approach made all the difference. She took the time to understand my comfort level, strengths and areas that needed improvement. Every session ensured that I not only learned the techniques but also built confidence in the water.
Tara has a gift for breaking down each movement in a way that is easy to understand, and her enthusiasm is truly contagious! She provided constant support and motivation, whether it was trying to perfect my strokes, improving my breathing techniques, or simply feeling at ease in the water.

Thanks to her dedication, I now am feeling completely comfortable, faster than ever and even excited to swim! If you are looking for a skilled, patient, and passionate swim coach who truly cares about your progress, look no further than Tara Norton Training.

Tara has made an incredible impact on my journey, and I am beyond grateful!”

“The day I consulted with Tara I knew I was going to reach my goal and qualify for the World Championship Kona Ironman. My swimming needed work and I was told by my previous coach “you will never succeed breathing on one side only.” I actually believed her and didn’t swim for 3 weeks. Then I met Coach Tara and her firm belief in me gave me the strength to pursue my goal. We had constant communication and Tara introduced me to other athletes that were training for the same distance so we could cycle together. We became a community helping and motivating each other. The plan was easy to understand and Tara would make adjustments when the schedule didn’t work. I always felt supported and I knew I was improving each week. Today, I am mentally and physically stronger because Coach Tara 100% believed and paved the my way to my victory. I completed Kona in 2022!!”
