About Zoe
Welcome to Expert Coaching with Zoe Baker
As a four-time world record holder and an experienced coach with over 12 years of teaching swimmers, I understand the importance of expert guidance in unlocking your full potential. I take great pride in offering structured, results-driven coaching sessions that are carefully tailored to each swimmer's individual needs, whether you're a beginner or an elite athlete both adults and children.
I hold both Swim AUS and GB Performance Coach qualification, ensuring that you receive the highest standard of coaching possible. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with athletes at all levels—from those just starting their swimming journey to world-class competitors. My aim is to create a positive and supportive learning environment where you feel confident, motivated, and empowered to achieve your goals.
With a proven track record, I bring first-hand experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in the water. Whether you're training for fitness, preparing for a competition, or simply looking to improve your swimming technique, I will provide you with the tools and knowledge to make tangible progress.
I am committed to delivering professional coaching with a focus on technique, efficiency, and lasting results. Every lesson is designed to ensure you leave feeling more confident and capable in the water. Your success is my success, and I look forward to working with you to help you achieve your swimming goals.

Your Techniques and Teaching Methodology
My coaching methodology is built around a strong technical foundation, focusing on the precise mechanics of each stroke. I break down each element—whether it’s body position, breathing, arm movement, or kick—into manageable steps, ensuring you gain a thorough understanding of how to make each stroke as efficient and powerful as possible. I incorporate video analysis where appropriate, providing visual feedback to help you refine your technique. My approach is both structured and adaptable, catering to the individual needs of each swimmer, whether they are looking to improve their stroke technique, endurance, or competitive performance.
Typical Length of a Lesson
Lessons are tailored to fit your personal goals and needs, with session lengths available in 30-minute, 45-minute, or 60-minute slots. The duration can vary depending on the focus of the session, but I generally recommend 45 minutes to an hour for optimal results, allowing enough time for both technique refinement and physical conditioning.
Your Qualifications/Experience as a Tutor
I am an ASA Level 3 Coach and hold the UK Level 3 Performance Coach (Advanced) qualification. With over 12 years of coaching experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with swimmers across a wide range of levels—from beginners to competitive athletes. My coaching approach draws from my personal experiences as a four-time world record holder and multiple-time international medallist, including Commonwealth and European Championships. This background allows me to bring a unique insight into training, ensuring that every swimmer receives expert guidance based on proven strategies and techniques.
Who Are Your Lessons For?
My lessons are designed for swimmers of all ages and abilities. Whether you're a beginner looking to improve your swimming efficiency, an intermediate swimmer aiming to enhance your stroke technique, or an advanced competitor striving for elite-level performance, my coaching is tailored to meet your specific needs. I work with swimmers aged 8+ and welcome all individuals, whether you are training for personal fitness, preparing for a race, or striving to break your own records.
If you’re ready to take your swimming to the next level, please get in touch to discuss how we can work together to achieve your goals!

Zoe is a very patient and very experienced swimming couch, my son’s technique was improved just after a couple of lessons, highly recommended to swimmers at all levels.
Zoe is one of those rare coaches who makes a lasting impact, not just on a swimmer’s technique, but on their confidence, mindset and love for the sport.
Since training with Zoe, our son’s swimming has completely transformed. His swimming technique has become noticeably stronger and more efficient. She’s taught him how to explode off the blocks (track dives), hold a tight streamline, breathe with control and race with purpose. Most importantly, she’s helped him believe in himself, stay focused under pressure, and take real pride in his progress.
Zoe brings a wealth of experience from competing at the highest levels, but she never makes it about her. She uses that knowledge to guide her swimmers with care, precision and clarity. When coaching the Age Nationals squad, she designed personalised training sets based on each swimmer’s strokes, race distances and individual needs. Her thoughtful feedback helped our son improve steadily and confidently.
Zoe pushes her swimmers in the best way - always with purpose, encouragement and belief. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and recommend her wholeheartedly.I have been training with Zoe for the last 2 months. Zoe has a wealth of knowledge and explains things in a way that are easy to understand. I would fully recommend Zoe to others that are looking to improve their swimming technique and swimming times.
We know each other through Superprof. She is an easygoing and organised person. Zoe is a very professional teacher and has profound knowledge about swimming. I believe she can help with all the problem of four strokes at any level. Highly recommended.
