WHAT PEOPLE SAY
CATHRINE WILSON
I unreservedly recommend Merle Talviste at Swim Smooth Auckland. She spent 90 mins completely focussed on me and how I could alter my swimming technique during the Video Analysis session we did together. It was the best investment I have made in my swimming training to date. Following our session, I even managed to get on the podium in a recent ocean swim event, for the first time! Thank you Merle, you rock!
ADRIAN OOI
Merle is a knowledgeable and patient coach who is meticulous in her approach. She helps to not just improve your stroke, but motivate you to train as well. I enjoyed my stroke analysis session which I learnt so much from, and am enjoying the squad sessions!

If you are serious about improving your swimming then you definitely need to check out Swim Smooth Auckland!
Merle is an amazing coach with an incredible amount of knowledge and experience. She has a proven record of delivering the Swim Smooth method around the world and is a successful athlete in her own right. She genuinely cares about her athletes and loves seeing them smash their goals
With 1x 90min Video Analysis session and 10 weeks of CSS specific training, I took 4:59 off my IM70.3 (1900m) swim time. Same course, similar conditions but 16sec/100m faster!
CSS training with the tempo trainer keeps you engaged and motivated throughout the entire session and makes training fun! The famous Red Mist workouts will ensure you are pushing your limits and taking your swimming to the next level.
Come and join us - you won't regret it!
JOSE URIBE
100% a no brainer. We couldn't recommend SSA enough. The Video Analysis is absolutely worth it if you want to progress and get better. Yes it's raw and exposes what you need to see. And then coach Merle gives you the task and guides you through. She listens to you and understands the root to change the outcome.
We are so happy to be working with them and can see our swimming improving. The drills? So fun! The sessions? With a lot of sense and zero junk miles!
OWEN REID
Since joining SwimSmooth Singapore, I’ve fallen in love with swimming!
Merle has the unique ability to push athletes while keeping swim training dynamic and enjoyable.
In a video analysis session, Merle recommended I make a few adjustments to my stroke to be more efficient through the water. Ever since, I’ve felt like a new swimmer!
