About
Join me in the world of swimming! I’m a lifelong swimmer, dedicated water polo player, and passionate swim instructor. Since 2017, I’ve been sharing my love for the water, combining technical skill with enthusiasm to help swimmers of all ages build confidence and capability. The past two years (23-25), I’ve served as an instructor and swim coach at the College of San Mateo, refining my teaching techniques and deepening my knowledge of the sport. Swimming has shaped my life, teaching resilience and achievement, and I strive to pass that on through a supportive, engaging environment. With a nurturing approach and attention to detail, I tailor guidance to each swimmer, helping them overcome fear, build skill, and develop a lifelong love for the water. I offer 1:1 and group lessons as long as the swimmers are close in age and skill. Want to save money? Here are some ways you can! • Purchasing multiple lessons up front - the bigger the lesson package, the bigger the discount! • Finding other swimmers to join you and split the lesson time! • When a new swimmer signs up through your referral!

My 5 year old started his first private swim lessons with Carlos this summer and he really enjoyed and looked forward for each lessons. He is so good with kids, that kids love his company. My son learnt basic swim in just 5 to 7 lessons with his technique s. Apart from that, Carlos was always, punctual and responsive to messages. No unwanted absences and was very flexible with our schedule

I’ve been struggling with a sinking leg issue in my swim technique for a long time, and no matter what I tried, nothing seemed to help. Carlos was the first instructor who really took the time to understand what was going on. He patiently broke things down, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. Thanks to his guidance, I finally fixed a problem I thought I’d never overcome. He’s not only knowledgeable but also incredibly patient, understanding, and genuinely cares about helping his students improve. I can’t recommend him enough!

My 12 yr old has been learning with Carlos from last 3 weeks and has a wonderful experience. From the first time I contacted him, he’s very professional and communicates promptly. This is her first time learning and she’s been comfortable in water and enjoys all her sessions. I will be recommending Carlos to all my friends.
