Rebecca Cristina Tavares Mota

I am a dedicated and dynamic swimming coach with strong experience developing young athletes across different age groups. Having coached from grassroots to high-performance levels, I bring expertise in technical stroke development, strength and conditioning, and athlete-centered training. My coaching background includes roles with prestigious teams such as Fluminense Football Club, Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, the Brazilian National Team for athletes with Down Syndrome, and the Brazilian National Age Group Open Water Team.

I hold all five ASCA certifications—an achievement reached by only a select few coaches in Brazil—and I am currently pursuing a degree in Physical Education at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. My coaching has contributed to multiple national champions and record holders, demonstrating my ability to guide swimmers to reach their full potential.

Fluent in English and with advanced communication skills, I excel in motivating young athletes, building team spirit, and fostering a positive, disciplined, and supportive training environment. My goal is to help swimmers at age-group level develop both a love for the sport and the foundation for long-term success in and out of the pool.
