Victoria Perez Silvestro & SwimForLife

For over 13 years, swimming has been more than just a sport for me—it has been a way of life. Growing up in Spain, I reached national-level championships while balancing intense training schedules with my studies. I experienced double training sessions, year-round dedication, and only a short break in August before diving back in. There were weeks of training seven days straight, pushing through challenges that tested both my resilience and passion.

Summers were never a time to step away from the water but rather an opportunity to embrace open-water swimming, where I found a new kind of freedom and endurance beyond the pool. These experiences shaped not only my strength as a swimmer but also my perspective as a coach.

As an instructor, I bring personalized, goal-oriented coaching to every swimmer, whether they are overcoming a fear of water, refining their technique, or training at a competitive level. My teaching approach is always adapted to each individual’s needs, ensuring that every swimmer progresses at their own pace with confidence and enjoyment.

For children, I believe in learning through play, creativity, and positive reinforcement, making every session engaging and effective. For advanced swimmers, I focus on technique, efficiency, and mental strategies to help them reach their full potential.

Above all, I love witnessing the progress my swimmers make—seeing their confidence grow in the water is what truly drives me. Every summer, I return to teaching because helping others discover the joy and skill of swimming is my greatest passion. Let’s dive in and make the water your new comfort zone!
