Our team
Meet the Coaches
Athlete-centred, honest and no-nonsense coaching — from complete beginners to Olympic hopefuls.

Over 15 years teaching & coaching
Henry Wright
Head Coach
Henry is the third generation of a family of accomplished Hong Kong coaches. It all started when his grandfather started a world-famous family swim school based in Hong Kong in the 1970s, with his parents soon coming under his grandfather's wing, and then him following suit when he came of age.
Growing up in Hong Kong has given him a unique understanding of both local and international schools, and all the sporting institutes and opportunities within the country for both youth and adults.
Henry grew up as an accomplished age-group swimmer, before moving on to modern pentathlon (swimming, running, shooting, fencing, equestrian) at boarding school in the UK. As an adult he turned to triathlon, competing in sprint to 70.3 distances. He has also competed in marathon swimming & running, and ultramarathon running events, and still actively competes in a variety of the above sports as an age-grouper.
He has been teaching and coaching since his early teenage years, amounting to almost 20 years of experience. He has extensive experience in racing and coaching all the endurance sports we offer — swimming, cycling, running, and triathlon — and has taught athletes of all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to Olympic hopefuls.
Henry views all of his clients as part of the extended Wright family, and as such delivers an athlete-centred, honest and no-nonsense approach to the programme. Whether the goal is to qualify for AG World Championships, finish a first race, or build on an existing base, he uses his own race knowledge to help athletes get there.
