More About Coach Javier

I have coached children from ages 4-17 at a club team level. I was the head coach at South West Illinois and Missouri (SWIM) club for about 2 years. I coach college level swimmers during their training trips and collegiate national level championships. I have experience with one on one coaching on a very broad spectrum of people from different ages, backgrounds and with different goals and swimming experience. Children, teenagers, young adults and adults - starting to swim or high performance athlete. Fully bilingual

-Honduran Olympic Swimmer (Beijing 2008)
-2010 Missouri Grand Prix Gold Medal
-2009 Stanford Grand Prix Silver Medal
-5x World Swimming Championship
-2x NAIA national champion
-3x Conference swimmer of the year

I was the top Honduran male swimmer for 7 years, going to multiple competitions nationally and internationally.

My main goal is to help people with the efficiency of their strokes.
-The first step is warm-up to evaluate the form and what we can work on.
-We then do a set of drills to work on the specific skill that's being targeted (customized per client)
-I get in the water to see the stroke view from underwater as an extra perspective to give feedback
-Integrate the drills worked on previously to the full stroke and adding focus on the "feeling" of the water

Client Reviews

Coach Javier was fantastic!
My 9yr old son really enjoyed the lesson. Coach is a fabulous communicator. My son left excited to work on the skills he learned.
Highly recommend Coach Javier!

Coach Javier is a superb coach.
He helped my son with technique on all 4 strokes.
He showed great knowledge and patience - inspiring my son in a fun way.

Coach Javier was very knowledgeable, skilled and patient with my daughter. We enjoyed our sessions with him and we highly recommend him to anyone who wants to further their swimming skills. My daughter went up from 18th seed in theJOs in 100 Fly to 8th seed and went on to qualify for the All Stars Meet. We were very happy to find him and learn from him.

Coach Javier is a great coach. He is very patient giving swimming lessons to an adult first time swimmer. Coach always follows up each session with written review of each day with recommendations to practice between sessions. I would highly recommend coach Javier to swimmers at all levels

Coach Javier is very knowledgeable and is a great instructor. He explains things very well and the reasons why you are performing certain drills etc. Do not hesitate to book swimming lessons with Coach Javier!

Amazing coach. Understands you at a mental and physical level, would highly recommend.

Coach Javier has been a wonderful swim coach for my 15 year son who is new to swimming. Coach Javier is patient, knowledgeable and encouraging. He has the experience and skills and is so kind, my son loves working with him.
i highly recommend him for swim training.

Coach Javier is fantastic! My son (6) loves working with him. He is patient and what I like the most is that he gets in the water and demonstrates what he is asking for instead of standing on the deck. This is very important because my son is a visual learner and this allows him to catch on faster. My son has made so much progress with his butterfly in only 2 lessons. My only regret is not finding Coach Javier sooner, this would have eliminated a lot of frustration on our end. We are looking forward to more lessons.

Coach Javier was a great coach. For the few
Days my son did learn a lot. The weather did interrupted our training 2 days. But my son did learn. I do recommend coach Javier.

Hi is a good coach and you should get him🤗

Javier is really an outstanding coach. My 15 year old son has learned so much in his first month with him. My son was already an accomplished open water swimmer as he is a competitive age group triathlete. Javier broke down his stroke completely and my son's form and speed has improved already. One thing I really like about Javier is that he actually gets into the pool with the swimmer to observe and provide real-time feedback. He often models the expected drill or technique which is easier to follow. Really happy he is my son's coach.

My experience with Coach Javier has been excellent. After a friendly introduction, he got in the pool to evaluate my son's (10 yr. old) strokes, kicks, body position and focus. He has been consistent with how he explains to my son what to do to improve technique: high elbow, length of stroke, types of kicks, hip placement, and body rotation. My son is very engaged and excited to get better.

Coach Javier has also created an environment where my child feels confident with change. So much so, that after his sessions, my son has said that he looks forward to applying his lessons at his swim club.

I look forward to seeing my son develop into a better athlete under Coach Javier's guidance. I couldn't be in better hands. Thank you Coach Javier.

Javier is an outstanding coach who is completely focused on improvement. His attention to detail sets him apart as he was a high performance swimmer himself. He works with each athlete at a physical and technique level, but more importantly he makes the mental aspect a priority. In the end, Javier is not only preparing swimmers to be better athletes, but better people and human beings. His passion to work with people shows in every interaction he has.
