"The ability to see yourself swim, understand what's happening in the water, and act on expert analysis is something that has traditionally only been available at the very top of the sport. Level-Up exists to change that."
- Stephen Clegg MBE, Founder
The idea behind Level-Up
Stephen's Paris 2024 gold medals were built on a foundation of high-quality coaching and daily video feedback. That same analytical approach — previously reserved for elite athletes — now powers our Masterclasses and Technical Analysis service.
What we believe
Elite coaching methodology shouldn't sit behind a closed door. Whether you're chasing a club record or a national qualification time, you deserve honest, precise feedback from people who genuinely understand high-performance swimming.

OUR TEAM
Meet the founder
Stephen Clegg MBE
Founder · Paralympic Gold Medallist
Stephen is a double Paralympic gold medallist and world record holder, having claimed both the S12 100m backstroke and 100m butterfly titles at the Paris 2024 Games. He competes with Stargardt macular dystrophy — a visual impairment affecting central vision — and has spoken openly about his commitment to leaving a legacy of accessibility and inclusion in swimming.
Stephen experienced first-hand how daily video analysis transformed his performance at the highest level. Level-Up Aquatics was built to share that same approach with swimmers who deserve better than generic coaching.
Our coaching team
Stephen is supported by a team of internationally experienced coaches with backgrounds spanning elite club, national, and international competition. Our team brings a depth of technical knowledge and competitive experience that informs every session, every analysis, and every piece of feedback we deliver.
OUR MISSION
To make high-performance coaching methodology accessible to every swimmer who is serious about improving — and to build a coaching culture defined by excellence, honesty, and inclusion.
