About Leonardo

As a person, I embody a passion for swimming and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in the sport.

With my experience as a national champion and a dedicated coach, I bring a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and professionalism to every lesson.

I am committed to creating a positive and welcoming environment where students can feel confident, supported, and motivated to achieve their goals.

Trust in my guidance, and together, we will unlock your true potential in the water.

About the lesson

As an experienced coach, I am dedicated to helping swimmers unlock their full potential and become faster in the water. Here's a description of my lessons, methodology, and techniques that I use to assist swimmers in improving their sprinting abilities:

1. Personalized Training Programs: I understand that each swimmer is unique, with different strengths, weaknesses, and goals. I begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment of the swimmer's current abilities, stroke mechanics, and physical condition. Based on this evaluation, I develop personalized training programs tailored to address individual needs and optimize performance.

2. Stroke Technique Analysis: Proper technique is vital for maximizing speed and efficiency in sprint swimming. I carefully analyze each swimmer's stroke mechanics, focusing on areas such as body position, arm and leg movement, breathing, and turns. By identifying and correcting technical flaws, I help swimmers streamline their strokes, reduce drag, and improve overall efficiency.

3. Strength and Conditioning: Sprint swimming demands not only exceptional technique but also significant strength and power. I incorporate strength and conditioning exercises specifically designed to enhance explosive power, muscular endurance, and core stability. Through a combination of dryland training and in-water exercises, swimmers develop the necessary strength to generate more force during each stroke.

4. Interval Training: Sprint swimming requires the ability to maintain high intensity over short distances. I implement interval training techniques, such as high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and race-pace sets, to simulate the demands of sprint events. These workouts help swimmers improve their anaerobic capacity, speed, and race-specific endurance.

5. Mental Preparation: Sprint swimming is as much a mental game as it is physical. I emphasize mental preparation techniques to help swimmers develop focus, concentration, and resilience. Visualization exercises, goal-setting strategies, and mindfulness practices are incorporated into the training regimen to enhance mental toughness and race-day performance.

6. Video Analysis and Feedback: To provide swimmers with visual feedback, I utilize video analysis tools to capture their swimming technique in action. By reviewing and analyzing these recordings together, swimmers gain a deeper understanding of their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. This visual feedback aids in the refinement of technique and accelerates progress.

7. Race Strategy and Tactics: Sprint events require strategic planning and tactical execution. I work closely with swimmers to develop race strategies that capitalize on their strengths and exploit competitors' weaknesses. By focusing on race-specific skills, starts, turns, and finishes, swimmers gain a competitive edge and learn to maximize their performance in key moments.

8. Constant Support and Communication: As a coach, I believe in building a strong rapport with my swimmers. I provide ongoing support, motivation, and open communication channels to address any concerns or challenges they may face. By fostering a positive and nurturing environment, swimmers feel empowered and confident to push their limits and excel in their sprinting endeavors.

Overall, my coaching services combine technical expertise, scientific training methods, and personalized attention to help swimmers reach their full potential in sprint swimming. By focusing on technique, strength, mental preparation, and race-specific strategies, I aim to guide swimmers towards faster times, improved performance, and success at all levels of competition.

Leonardo has been an incredible swimming teacher for my two sons over the past two months. They've had 2-hour classes with him, and the improvement I've seen is amazing.
My kids absolutely love their lessons with Leonardo. He really knows what he's doing and has a knack for making the sessions both fun and productive. It's been wonderful to see their confidence in the water grow with each class.
I've already recommended Leonardo to my friends because I believe he's one of the best instructors out there. If you're looking for someone who is passionate, skilled, and great with kids, Leonardo is your guy. Thanks so much, Leonardo, for all your hard work!

Leonardo is great! How wonderful it is to feel more confident in the water.. To know we are capable of moving happily and more effortlessly around the pool.. To enjoy the water without a frantic race from one side to the other... The best thing I have come away with is knowing the water will support me and that doing less is more effective. The way you taught us to glide so smoothly was inspirational. Thank you so much.
