Pool’s been my second home for 20 years—swimmer, coach, now just a guy who loves a challenge. Took my first break, tried aerial yoga at 40, did a handstand or two, even danced. Why not, right? I’m all about pushing limits, not just mine, but everyone’s. My students, they’re like family. We cheer at 5am, rain or shine. It’s the effort that counts, not just medals. ### My work - **Swimming for All Ages**: I coach everyone—kids, adults, masters, even triathletes. Building skill and water confidence is the goal. - **Playful Pool Sessions**: We do flips, handstands, and my classic cap drop. Learning’s fun, and you’ll get water-confident through play. - **Technique Matters**: We break down backstroke starts, dives, stretching, and more. I demo, you try, we repeat till it clicks. - **Beyond Just Swimming**: It’s about full-body aquatic fitness—strength, flexibility, and conditioning, in and out of water. - **Team Spirit**: Join our crew, NMSA Marlins or Jellyfish. We show up for each other, always. That’s the vibe.
