About me
My name is Javier Chacón Olea.
I learned to swim before I learned to walk. In group swimming lessons, I was always ahead of the students who were older than me.
When I was 11, I joined a swimming club and started competing. I was very good at it because I have always been very competitive.
When I was training I imagined that my body was a Formula One car and my mind was the driver. I would try my best in every training session to try to be the best swimmer. Unfortunately, no matter how hard you try, no team can guarantee that you will achieve your dream of swimming in the Olympics. When I realised that I could not achieve that dream, I took a step aside and trained as a coach.
I studied as hard as I could to pass the test to get into the best university in my region. I managed to get into INEFC Barcelona! While I studied in the mornings, I put theory into practice in the afternoons. I worked for many years teaching swimming to all kinds of people and developed my own teaching method. Over the years I have perfected it to the point where I can guarantee it is infallible. All my students have learnt to swim without exception.
