Joao is an amazing coach! Working with kids can be hard, I was extremely impressed with the way he was able coach all the different skill levels of kids without any level being left out or going under served! He is such a humble guy, I know my kids couldn’t wait to chat him up about his career and all of the competitors he has faced in the pool! Thank you Joao for offering your stories, your passion, your knowledge, your skills and your encouragement to a generation of future swimmers who will forever remember the time when you helped them swim faster, dream bigger and understand the sport of swimming a little better! – Russ in Johnston, IA
