Our Method
Success is a by-product of control over biomechanics
Imagine swimming reduced to its purest form – every movement shaped by balance, alignment, and control. When biomechanics are mastered, efficiency emerges, resistance fades, and speed becomes effortless. The Aurum Circle embodies this principle: success is the natural outcome of precision, balance, and elite coaching expertise.

Our Team
Daniel Rodgers
Founder, Aurum Performance
I’ve spent my life studying the science, art, and psychology of movement — helping swimmers, triathletes, and high performers unlock precision at the highest level.
My approach combines Olympic-level technical analysis with elite human performance methodology, built on two decades of coaching experience and a deep understanding of biomechanics, efficiency, and control.
Clients come to me not to learn how to swim faster, but to understand movement on a deeper level — to feel complete control, efficiency, and confidence in every stroke. This is not coaching in the traditional sense. It’s immersion in precision, guided personally by me.
When I work with you, I work with you directly. No distractions, no compromises — just absolute attention to your performance, your goals, and your environment.
