Tiago Escada

Feedback

What my swimmers say

From first-time swimmers to national qualifiers — a few words from the people I have had the privilege to coach.

I came to Tiago terrified of deep water. Six months later I swam my first open-water mile. His patience and structure changed everything for me.

Coach Tiago dropped two seconds off my 100 free in one season. He breaks technique down so it actually makes sense in the water.

I thought my best times were behind me at 54. Tiago rebuilt my stroke and my confidence. I am now competing at nationals again.

The swim leg used to be my weakness. Tiago made it my strongest discipline. Clear drills, honest feedback, real results.

Tiago is a very good friend, we trained and competed together for more than 5 years in Aminata. We were in the same relay team and we got to the Portuguese National Championships.

Working with Tiago over the summer completely reset my starts and turns. I walked into the season faster and far more prepared.
