Depends on the level of the athlete. But normally i can help all levels. From beginner athletes that want to perfect or learn more strokes to full blown high level athletes that would like a more detailed break down of their techniques.
Basically i focus more in technique perfecting in all levels then anything else.

Client Reviews
Karen (CoachUp client)
Coach Pedro taught me A LOT in my first session, helped me get over a few of my fears and anxieties, and got me swimming LOADS better by the end of the session!! I already feel more confident and can't wait to hit the pool and see how much I've improved and work on everything he showed me. He was so helpful! I already feel like a different swimmer.
William (CoachUp client)
Great guy, connected with 8 year old daughter immediately. Worked on technique for all disciplines. She felt really good about lesson and constructive observations. Highly recommend!
Erin (CoachUp client)
Coach Pedro is kind, supportive and encouraging. He really motivated my son. After just one lesson my son feels excited again about swimming. It is amazing the power a great coach can have over an athlete. I highly recommend Coach Pedro.
Jonathan (CoachUp client)
Coach Pedro is an awesome coach! The first day I met with him he watched me swim then gave me some drills to do to improve my strokes. By the end of this first session I was already improving! I would recommend that anybody looking to improve their skills in the pool, meet with Pedro. He's a really great coach and knows what he talking about.
James (CoachUp client)
Very pleased with our first session. Pedro was very good with our daughter and we will definitely book more lessons. Thank you.
