I was Alex’s college coach. Alex is one of the most thoughtful swimmers I’ve ever coached. His knowledge of kinesiology as it pertains to swimming is exceptional. Alex will give every one of his clients the best he has. His dryland and strength training is not only challenging, but specifically geared for targeting swimmers strength appropriate for their age group and individual needs. Alex is an amazing coach and an even better human being.

Alex is a dedicated and knowledgeable coach. He has been working with my daughter both in the water and on dryland for about 8 months. We are incredibly impressed by his comprehensive approach to coaching. We have seen a noticeable improvement in her strength, focus and dedication to her sport and herself as an athlete.

Alex is extremely thoughtful and dedicated to planning and follow through for his clients. Keeping the goal in mind, he’s structured a realistic plan to reach my daughter’s goals. We can’t recommend Alex enough, extremely experienced with his background of so many years of swim coaching and D1 swimming at BU. The addition of his Doctorate in Physical Therapy has just catapulted his knowledge of the swimmer and how to keep them healthy, and optimize their performance.

If you’re considering a coach, stop looking, just call Alex. Alex and I worked together for 7 months leading up to my first Half IM. He works you hard but he tailors the program to your needs.

I’m a dad and I travel for work. He made sure I prioritized what needed to be prioritized to be ready for my race.

I also used Alex for a couple of additional services including swim and running technique. I can’t understate how important that was to my performance. My swim stroke became way more efficient, critical for a 1.2 mile swim.

His feedback on my running reduced a great deal of pressure on my knees that was starting to grow as the distance picked up. Unfortunately, I had to see him for PT due to an unrelated injury that kept me out of the pool for two months.

He adjusted my training regimen and then helped me ease back into swimming at distance. Finally, and I can’t underscore this enough, his race day prep was exactly what I needed to perform MY best race. We spent an hour talking through how to approach each discipline, what to focus on during transitions and how to keep properly fueled and maintain the right target HR through each phase.

Alex and I happened to be in the same race (and he is way faster than me) and he was waiting outside transition and at the finish line to cheer me on. I’m looking forward to working with Alex again!

Alex is a magician! Helped me with my hip and elbow. Very professional, skilled, and friendly.

My daughter saw two orthopedic providers and completed 4 months of in-person physical therapy for what was diagnosed as an overuse/impingement issue with her shoulder. Per the in-person physical therapist’s recommendation, my daughter even stopped swimming for 8 weeks. All to no avail. My mama-bear, middle of the night fretting had me awake and scrolling instagram a few weeks later. Up popped Alex Ewart’s @theswimmingpt account. Feeling desperate, I DM’d him. Fast forward 3 months and my daughter is pain-free and back to club swimming. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t her shoulder! And Alex picked that up almost immediately during our virtual appointment! Admittedly, I was hesitant to reach out to somebody on instagram…but I was also desperate for answers. We not only got answers, but also complete resolution of her symptoms. I would whole-heartedly recommend Alex to my friends and family.
