Port Douglas Swim Retreat
Foundations of Freestyle
What People Say
Irene is simply one of the best coaches I have worked with. At my age it was difficult to get back into competitive swimming (triathlon) but she was superb. Gave me more confidence and I am looking forward to the swim squads rather than dreading them.

What is there not to love about Swimfit? Irene (the most amazing coach) has taken me from a level that I thought was acceptable to competing at a level I never thought I would achieve. Her kindness, support and magical ability to renew my love of swimming is out of this world! Our Swimfit group are the most amazing group of friends and welcome ANYONE and ANY ability.
Clare Zapalla
I went from smashing myself in the pool and standing still with my swim times (approx 40mins for the 70.3 distance) to swimming smoother, stronger and more in control of my swim - in the space of 3 months, Irene took me to a 34min swim at Geelong 70.3 last year, which was an enormous PB for me!
I cannot speak highly enough of her passion, professionalism, approachability and knowledge, particularly with open-water swimming. She has literally changed the game of swimming for me and I am so grateful.

Port Douglas Swimfit Retreat
Treat yourself to a Luxury Swimfit Retreat at the iconic Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort in Port Douglas.
Based on the 'Foundations of Freestyle', you will learn how to become a better and faster swimmer while soaking up the relaxing and tropical surroundings here in Far North Queensland.
We kick the weekend off on Friday evening, giving you enough time to make your way to Port Douglas. While you enjoy a delicious 3-Course Dinner, Coach Irene will present to you the 'Foundations of Freestyle'. This is also a wonderful opportunity to get to know your fellow swimmers on the retreat.
Start your Saturday morning in a relaxing way and make most of the Full Buffet Breakfast. We will then make our way to the Mirage Country Club (across the street) for your Video Analysis. Coach Irene will video you from above and underwater and analyse your stroke following the 'Foundations of Freestyle'.
Over lunch you will have time to relax or explore Port Douglas. Make most of your weekend up here!
After you've had time to relax and process your analysis we will jump back in the pool for an afternoon technique session. This is where you will learn the drills and exercises to improve your stroke.
On Saturday night you are invited to join the optional Group Dinner at one of my favourite restaurants in Port Douglas.
Sunday we start with an awesome training session. This is an opportunity to practice what you've learned over the weekend and I will give you tips and feedback.
Coffee and breakfast taste so much better after a good swim session! We'll enjoy a group breakfast at the Sheraton Buffet, while Coach Irene will talk to you about how to train for your goals. This is also your chance to get answers to any swimming-related questions.
We will wrap the Swimfit Retreat up at about 11am on Sunday, leaving you time to either make your way back home or enjoy some extra time in Port Douglas.
