For two decades, after winning a bronze medal at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Sergio Lopez has been developing an universal teaching method for swimmers. The goal was to develop a teaching method where any person regardless of their skills could learn how to swim. Over recent years with the help of a few mentors and colegues along with a lot of swimming and coaching experience under his belt, Coach Sergio Lopez was able to conclude and put into practice what he named the Planet Swim Teaching Method (PSTM). Planet Swim School is honored to be the official home and the first swim school in the planet to abide to this methodology and invites you to become a part of this history with us!
