SPORTS PASSIONATE
My love story with... water
My love story with... water
I was born and raised in Castilla-La Mancha, a region in central Spain best known for Don Quixote and its famous Manchego cheese. Summers there are incredibly hot. So, since I was a little kid, I quickly learnt that being in the water was the best place to be!
I’ve worked at many swim clubs and I realised that traditional coaching methods don’t always work for every swimmer, especially those without a swimming background. As a result of everything I’ve learned over the years, I’ve developed my own approach to coaching which, based on feedback from my swimmers, I believe is both effective and fun.
BEYOND THE POOL
Three roles. One passion. One life!
Coach
I’ve coached at a high-performance level with the Spanish Swimming Federation and worked alongside international coaches, from whom I’ve learned a great deal.
I’ve also coached at local swim clubs across Scotland, England and Spain, from junior to Masters level. I’m happy to bring that elite experience to swimmers through personalised coaching.
Teach
I am also a qualified school teacher at an international school in Mallorca. Working closely with young people and understanding how they learn makes me a better coach.
Above all, I love sharing knowledge and helping young people develop strong values.
Enjoy
To me, practising sport is more than a hobby; it’s a way of life. Besides swimming, both in the pool and in open water, I also love cycling and triathlon. I’m always keen to try new sports, from rock climbing to my biggest dream—surfing!
I’m very competitive too, but above all I want to have fun and enjoy myself.
