More About Coach Jose

Professional lifeguard and certified swimming Coach with 10 years experience.

I have coached children ages 7-18, as well as adults (18+) in the United States, Spain, and France. The levels of training I have offered vary between beginner, intermediate, as well as some more advanced levels. Most of my clients have been individual and one-on-one swimming practices, although I have also trained several times in a group environment.

Facilities included: Pool and gym.

- I created my own workout for lifeguards which was rewarded by the FFSS (Federation francaise de surveillance et secourisme / French federation of surveillance and rescue) in 2014.
- Coaching swimming with children for the last 10 years.

Racing background:

- 2008 & 2009 Champion Freestyle 50 meters and 100 meters at INP Grenoble.
- 2008 2nd Freestyle 500 meters at INP Grenoble.
- 2008 3th Freestyle 1000 meters at INP Grenoble.
- 2009 2nd Freestyle 1000 meters at INP Grenoble.

- 2013 Champion at Swimming Tour in French Riviera (50 meters freestyle)
- 2014 Champion Swimming Tour Open Water Freestyle (50 meters and 100 meters freestyle)

I focus on important swimming technical skills such as breathing, gliding, coordination, breaststroke and diving.
I aim to improve the confidence and joy of swimming when I train because I believe that enjoying the sport while following proper safety guidelines are the most important pool rules.
I have all the equipment that is required to develop swimming technical and physical skills.

My son had his first training session with Coach Jose this past week and he loved the session. He is 11 years old and has been training with another coach for the past two years and we were looking for a new trainer to give him exposure to a different style of coaching and new training drills. My son absolutely loved the session and the drills that Coach Jose had him do......he asked to go back and he wants to begin training with him on a regular basis. My son has been playing competitive soccer for 3 years ( this will be his 4th ) and Jose's coaching ability, drills and personality are very good for a kid playing at that level. We are excited to have the opportunity to continue his training with Coach Jose.

Coach Jose was Amazing! He has a great passion for soccer and training young players. He was easily able to adapt to my son's needs for improvement. We were very pleased with the session

Excellent!

So far we're really happy with Jose's work with our 13-year old. Max enjoys the sessions and he's getting a great workout & learning. Jose is great to work with, very flexible with scheduling, professional, and a really nice guy. We couldn't ask for anything more!

Coach Josema was great coach. Very kind, very easy to get along with and most importantly he really knows what he is doing. Having the background he has, he stands up well to the expectations. The drills we did today and the drills we are going to be doing are going to be very helpful in the long run helping me at a collegiate level, and my partner at a high quality club level. my teammate and I are looking forward to continuing training with him as we feel he is the perfect man for the job.

Great first lesson. He made it fun for my daughter and non-threatening and worked on many important areas that have benefited her.

My 9-year old thoroughly enjoyed his session with coachn Josema. His sessions are challenging, productive and fun. He has a real passion for the game and seems to really enjoy coaching. We will continue to work with coach Josema and I would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their skills and learn the game.

Can't say enough WONDERFUL things about the training with Josema. He took my daughter from being scared of the water to going under by herself in less than 2 months!! Now she's a fishy who LOVES the pool and is confident, but safe in it! Thank you!!
I am a 22-year-old Naval Special Warfare Candidate with little swimming experience before I went to swim with Josema. In order to gain a contract to attend Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) Training you must take a physical standards test that includes a 500-yard swim using the combat sidestroke. Before learning the correct techniques for the stroke from Josema, my 500-yard swim time was 9:30. I told Josema that my goal for the swim was a sub 8-minute swim time. After attending lessons with Josema for 3 month I gained a SEAL contract with a 500-yard swim time of 7:45. Josema was able to teach me the basic principles of freestyle that transfer to the combat sidestroke. In properly learning freestyle I was able to gain better awareness of my body in the water, which made me a faster swimmer. In every lesson with Josema, he was able to communicate my mistakes in stroke and was able to provide the correct solutions. I would recommend Josema to anyone, not just special operations candidates. Prior to meeting with Josema I was a lead weight in the water, now I am steadily improving as a swimmer, with all of the credit going to Josema because of his dedication to help me improve as a swimmer.
