I've been a coach for over 15 years helping people of all ages and skill level become better swimmers. Whether you need to learn how to swim or are a competitive athlete wanting to fine tune your technique, I am well equipped to work with a wide range of experience and personalize our coaching sessions.

- Improve times for athletes competing on club and collegiate level
- Ongoing College Assistant Coach for training camps
- Affiliated with a non-profit out of Honduras to host swim camps/clinics.
- Clientele over the years has ranged from 4 to 75 years old

Enjoyed my first lesson with Javier. Provided clear and actionable feedback. Identified my learning style and seemed to adjust feedback to that while we were in the water. Would recommend.

Javier was great. I got my wife swim lessons for Valentines day and she really felt comfortable and made a lot of progress on day 1. She took a group lesson years ago, and felt the individualized attention made a huge difference. She's excited to finally learn how to swim!

When Javi started working with my son, my son was a toddler. Javi was patient and attentive to his needs. He didnt force anything and he watched my sons every move to ensure my son felt safe and was building strong habits. In return, my son trusted Javi which solidified a positive experience for my son and myself as the mother.

After 3 coaches, he was the only one who taught me to do the Olympic turn well. He focuses a lot on technique, being very angry. Sometimes that's what we need.
