Passionate swim coach helping athletes of all levels build speed, confidence, and championship habits
Hi, I’m Noah Thomas—a competitive para swimmer and certified swim coach with a deep passion for helping swimmers of all levels improve. With CPR and swim safety certifications, plus firsthand experience at national and international meets like the World Series, I offer a coaching style that blends elite-level training with a personal, supportive approach. Whether you’re just learning how to swim or trying to shave tenths off your sprint times, I create sessions that are tailored to your needs and goals. I focus on teaching proper technique, building explosive speed, and helping swimmers develop the mental toughness that racing demands. My methods are inspired by top programs and coaches I’ve worked with, but they’re delivered in a way that fits you—your body, your mindset, your pace. I’m here to help athletes build confidence in and out of the water, and I communicate clearly with both swimmers and parents so everyone’s on the same page. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and knows how to get results, I’d love to be part of your journey.

About Me:
I’m Noah, a competitive para swimmer and certified coach with CPR and USA Swimming safety credentials. I’ve trained under top programs, combining elite techniques with a personal, motivating style that meets each swimmer where they are.
How I can help you improve your game:
I work with you at the level you’re at and help work on weaknesses and improve strengths in the water to achieve your swimming goals
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Sessions are customized to your goals—whether that’s speed, endurance, or stroke refinement. A typical session includes technical drills, sprint work, real-time feedback, and recovery tips designed to maximize gains for serious swimmers. For newer swimmers I help get comfortable with the water and feeling safe and confident in your technique
Career summary and accomplishments:
I’ve competed at national and international levels, including the World Series in Indianapolis and National Championships in Orlando, and I continue to train and coach as part of the adaptive athletics program at the University of Arizona.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had knew how to push me without burning me out—he combined science-backed training with a genuine belief in me, which is the model I bring to every athlete I coach.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I care about each swimmer as a person first. I build confidence, character, and commitment—whether your goal is a new PR or just learning to feel safe and strong in the water.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
