About us

Juraj Hlávek – tréner Swimperium

From an early age to a coaching degree

I started swimming at the age of 6. It didn't take long for the first successes to arrive in the form of medals and placings. Throughout my whole career as a swimmer I passed through the hands of several coaches and experts who shaped me as an athlete and as a person. I was always marked by resilience, drive and perseverance, and throughout my swimming years I held the status of a Slovak champion.

During my swimming career there were also several moments – setbacks and obstacles – that helped me build mental resilience.

Thanks to these unique experiences I gained, and after combining swimming with study, I fully immersed myself in the career path of a conditioning and swimming coach.

Now, with my personal approach, I try not only to refine the technique of my clients – from children, through young ambitious swimmers and recreational swimmers, to triathletes – and make them better swimmers, but I also focus on helping with their mental development.

  • more than 20 years of experience in swimming and elite sport
  • 25-time Slovak Champion in 50-100-200 m butterfly
  • Champion in ocean rescue at Nags Head, North Carolina
  • Master's graduate in conditioning coaching for elite sport, FTVŠ, Comenius University in Bratislava
