Australia has shaped generations of Olympic swimmers and outstanding coaches. Swimficient brings lessons from that high-performance tradition to your everyday freestyle — so every lap counts.
Improve the mechanics. Then build the fitness around them.
01 / WHY TECHNIQUE
Australia's great swimming coaches know that a fast stroke is built on efficient movement. That same principle matters whether you're racing at a national championship or swimming laps before work.
Swimficient brings the fundamentals back into focus. No confusing jargon. No endless drills without a purpose. Just useful changes you can understand, feel and take into your next swim.

02 / ROOTED IN AUSTRALIAN SWIMMING
BRISBANE BORN • PERFORMANCE INFORMEDAustralia has produced some of the world's most celebrated swimmers and innovative coaches. Swimficient carries that spirit into a simpler idea: quality technique coaching should not be reserved for Olympians.
TRAIN WITH AARONAaron's early swimming development included training at the Carew swim school, where he worked with David Carew. The school was founded by David's father, John Carew, the celebrated coach who guided Kieren Perkins to consecutive Olympic 1500m gold medals in 1992 and 1996.
Aaron went on to spend four years training in squads under Michael Bohl, one of Australia's highly regarded high-performance coaches. He stepped away from competitive swimming in 2005, taking with him years of technical training and a respect for the details that make a stroke work.
From an Australian competitive-sport background to coaching adults in Brisbane, Aaron's focus is translating high-performance swimming principles into changes you can understand, feel and repeat — whatever your current pace.
Swimficient is an independent coaching business. Historical references describe Aaron’s training background and the wider Carew school’s swimming heritage; they do not imply endorsement by the named coaches or athletes.

06 / THE PERSON BEHIND SWIMFICIENT
AARON “AJ” DELANEY / FOUNDER & HEAD COACH
HIGH-PERFORMANCE LESSONS. PRACTICAL SWIMMING FOR EVERYONE.
Aaron's competitive swimming journey began in Brisbane's Carew swimming environment, including training with David Carew. His next chapter was four years training under Michael Bohl, before retiring from competitive swimming in 2005. He also represented Australia in water polo overseas at age 18.
That background is the foundation of Swimficient. Aaron believes that great coaching is not about making swimming sound complicated. It's about identifying where effort is lost, helping a swimmer feel a better movement and giving them a clear way to practise it.
Every Swimficient private session is personally led by Aaron at launch. As the business grows, the aim is to build a coaching team drawn from former elite-level athletes who also know how to teach.

09 / THE DETAILS
Not at all. Swimficient is designed for adults who can swim freestyle and want to make their technique smoother, more comfortable and more effective.
Private coaching is currently delivered personally by founder Aaron Delaney, a former competitive swimmer with training experience in the Carew swimming environment and four years in Michael Bohl's squads. As the business grows, the goal is to recruit former elite-level athletes with strong coaching skills; no additional coaches are advertised as currently available.
Not yet. The target release is 11 November 2026. Join early access and we'll contact you when the complete product and secure payment link are ready.
Brisbane CBD is the intended base for private sessions. Exact venue and availability are confirmed individually. Mobile coaching may be available at suitable Brisbane pools.
We look at your current freestyle, pick the highest-value technique priorities, work through drills and discuss what to practise on your own. Results vary by swimmer.
The digital program is planned to be accessible online internationally when launched, with prices displayed in Australian dollars.
