About Us.

JAMES BUNCE MSc, COACH

While training with my local surf life saving club many years ago, I was introduced to open water swimming which led me to discovering triathlon. Since then I have competed in many triathlons from sprint to Ironman distance.

My recent race results have seen me qualifying to represent Team GB Age Group in the World and European long distance triathlon championships and the European middle distance triathlon championships as well as qualifying for the 2023 Ironman World Championships

Although I enjoy competing, coaching is my main interest now and I currently hold the following qualifications and roles:

• Swim England Level 2 Open Water Coach

• Swim England Level 2 Swim Coach

• British Triathlon Level 2 Diploma Coach and Strength & Conditioning Coach

• Certified Strength & Conditioning and Sports Nutrition Coach

• Truro City Swim Club Head Coach

• SLSS Beach Lifeguard, First Aid qualified and DBS verified via British Triathlon and Swim England

• Fully insured British Triathlon Coach

I have been fortunate to have been mentored by some of the leading coaches in swimming and triathlon in the south west and am always striving to learn more from other coaches and from the feedback of athletes I work with. In 2023 I was awarded Triathlon England South West Participation Coach of the Year Award

I am based in Cornwall where I live with my wife and two children. I offer 1-2-1 and group coaching sessions for pool and open water swimming, cycling and track running sessions and strength and conditioning and also offer a multisports coaching service either in person or online via Training Peaks
