About Sergio

I've been competing in long-distance triathlons for the last 6 years, in that time I spent a lot of time progressing from just getting by my swims to now powering through them. When I was learning how to swim I spent hours watching swim tutorials and practicing drills with little success until I actually started swimming with a coach and a team. The ability to actively receive feedback on my stroke, and not just rely on what I thought I was doing is what took me from I can survive the swim, to I can compete in the swim.

Outside of endurance sports I'm a data nerd, poet, and percussionist.

About the lesson

Whether you are a beginner overcoming a fear of water or an athlete training for your first race, my lessons are tailored exactly to your goals.

Why Train With Me?

What sets me apart is the intersection of formal coaching experience and real-world endurance. Plus a background in data analysis that I leverage to break down your stroke to the smallest detail.

As an instructor at Peninsula Swim School and an active triathlete, I combine precise, safety-first instruction, with the mental grit and mechanics needed for high-performance open water or pool swimming.

My Method & Typical Lesson Plan
I use a "principle-first" approach, focusing on hydrodynamics, breath control, and core alignment to make swimming feel effortless rather than exhausting. A typical 50-minute session includes:

0-10 mins: Dynamic warm-up and breath-pacing drills.

10-30 mins: Targeted technical progression (focusing on body roll, catch mechanics, or kick efficiency).

30-45 mins: Main endurance or conditioning set tailored to your current fitness level.

45-50 mins: Cool-down and mindful stroke review.

Who These Lessons Are For

I work with all levels, specializing in adults conquering water anxiety, lap swimmers looking to refine their stroke, and multi-sport athletes looking to shave minutes off their triathlon swim splits. Let’s unlock your peak performance in the water!

Perfect! We’ve had a wonderful experience with Sergio as Neil’s swimming instructor! Sergio is incredibly patient, encouraging, and great with kids. He immediately made Neil feel comfortable and confident in the water, and Neil genuinely looks forward to every lesson.

What really stands out is Sergio’s ability to make the lessons fun while still focusing on proper technique, water safety, and building strong swimming skills. We’ve already seen a noticeable improvement in Neil’s confidence and swimming ability.

Sergio is professional, kind, and clearly passionate about teaching. We feel very fortunate to have found him and would highly recommend Sergio to any family looking for an excellent swimming instructor for their child!

Sergio is simply amazing.
My son is a tough cookie, and I really mean it. He is super active and hard to keep focused, plus not fluent in English, but Sergio was able to connect with him and keep classes entertaining and educational. My son always looks forward to swim class with Sergio.
