We are so impressed with the progress all three of our kids made after just a few one-to-one lessons. Most importantly the kids really enjoyed the lessons and loved being... read more with Angela!
I came to Tenerife with the intent of trying to learn how to swim, haven't even been in water for over 30 years. I had little hope, but at least... read more I wanted to try it. Having Nico as a teacher was the best that I could have wished for. With his calm manner he inspires confidence. Confidence in him and also in yourself. Fundamental in a teacher if you will learn something. I'm very satisfied wit the progress I made in only ten hours. With Nicos help I started to believe in myself and my abilities. I enjoyed his lessons very much, feeling always safe in his presence. I really hope to come back again. Thank you very much Nico
Nico has helped me a lot over the last year to improve my swimming. And that means more than just improving technique. He is fantastic at analysing swimming technique and... read more guiding methodical exercises to improve. However, he also sees the person as a whole. The goals, the development and the personal challenges. He is very motivating and supportive, knowing that swim training is always a mental challenge too. I am incredibly grateful for every single training session and thankful to learn so much through Nico.
Hi Nico, Your swim coaching was at a super high level, and I have experienced quite a lot of coaching in non-swimming contexts. Nico is very attentive to „my state... read more of play“, to my current stroke „quality", he was always with his eyes on your swim technique, he gave feedback to the smallest areas for improvement. I am a 54 year old male and quite an experienced swimmer in all styles. So I asked Nico to assess and give impulses for improvement for my freestyle, back stroke and butterfly technique. He filmed all styles underwater and above from 2 point of views each. We discussed the videos holistic and in detail down to individual video frames. Nico is focusing on holistic body improvement and has helped me to work on and understand my arm/shoulder/core/hip/leg posture during swimming. I enjoyed listening to Nico's gentle and precise feedback. I took notes afterwards and now have a set of technical drills, which split up each style into new mini exercises, while focussing on one aspect and other drills, which put „it“ together into a complete swim stroke. I learned that there are/were mini aspects in the stroke/arm/head/shoulder/hip timing, which I can improve further in my self-guided swimming without Nico. Many thanks Max
¡Excelente! Conocido por casualidad, fui a aprender a nadar, como no era muy bueno.... Resulta que, en muy pocas lecciones, ahora no puedo evitar nadar, fueron excepcionales. Me siguió en... read more todo, no solo en la técnica, sino que me aconsejaron sobre cómo mantenerme en forma y, sinceramente, a amar el agua de una manera diferente, ¡MUCHAS GRACIAS!
Nico is really a wonderful, calm and experienced swim teacher who is super for adults and kids. Our son was afraid of water and didn't want to dive or swim... read more and Nico managed that he now is swimming and loves to dive. Without Nico that wouldn't have happened for many years 🙂 Nico taught also my wife how to swim freestyle and with his training her hurting shoulder even disappeared. Thank you so much, Nico, for all your passion and good time we could spend with you in Tenerife Top Training!
I am a 53 year old male training for a 1/2 Ironman and wanted to get some pool and open water swim training while in Tenerife. Nico was incredibly... read more helpful both in the pool and in the open water .. he gave me some hugely helpful tips to improve my form and make me feel more comfortable in the open water. I had such a good experience with him that I had him give lessons to my 13 and 11 year old daughters. Nico made the lessons with them very fun and they were asking for more when we had to leave😎. He is extremely engaging with both adults and children - I could not recommend him any more!
Nico was the highlight of our 3 months stay in Tenerife! My partner (more advanced swimmer) and me (very beginner) were surprised how one person can cover it all. With... read more Nico it was so intuitive and easy. Nico is amazing at explaining things. He knows how to knock to your brains and explain them how to swim 🙂 One of the top experiences! We liked it so much that we are planning to ger back to Tenerife just for swimming with Nico.
Within just one week Nico taught our 7yo daughter to swim. Despite the language barrier (she doesn't speak englisch) he built a connection, encouraged her and it was great to... read more see daily improvements and a proud girl that is now able to swim on her own!
