Hi, My name is Viktoria Helmeczy and I am a swim instructor and a swim coach. I coached many different groups this past season from Oct 2018 to Oct 2019. They were: National Team, Senior 2 team, Bronze team (small kids), High School team and Middle School team. It was a challenge but got great results! During the year I coached for Swim Atlanta year round swimming and I also thought private swim lessons.  I am myself used to be a swimmer and achieved great results and I also played water-polo. During this past year I realized that coaching is what I would like to do full time and now I am in a lookout for an awesome team that needs my expertise to be better than ever.  So please let me know if you can use someone who is caring, loving, patient and can take your swimmer to a higher level. Thank you so much! Viktoria Helmeczy

Swimming was always "my sport."  I dog-paddled my way onto the Superfish in the early 1980's and fell in love with the water.  Unfortunately, my family moved quite a bit, and I wound up leaving the sport long before I was ready.  It wasn't until I was an adult with my own children entering the local swimming program and becoming increasingly competitive that I realized how much I had missed being a part of this activity. When getting involved with our local teams, I felt it was always my job to be where the team needed me.  In some cases, this meant holding a timer, in other cases, it meant making and serving food.  From there, I worked as a Clerk of Course, a stroke & turn official, a starter, a ref, and eventually a coach.  Moving across the ocean to Naples, Italy put us in a strange position -- the local club team environment was not compatible with what USAS goals for age-group swimming.  The clubs here are known to specialize early and only work with the fastest -- little attention is paid to technique after a certain level and it becomes all about the times.  I've watched swimmers from France, the US, Canada and Greece grow frustrated with the local club environment and erode their love for the sport. We joined the Naples Tiger Sharks,, a European Forces Swim League team, on the US Navy base here.  This league is more of a recreational-style league, but we have a good number of very competitive swimmers.  Due to the nature of our environment, we usually don't have swimmers with us for more than three years, as such our ability to truly grow swimmers from beginner to national levels is limited.  That doesn't mean we don't do our best to maximize every swimmer's abilities. The Tiger Sharks is committed to promoting a love of swimming, and building swimmers with solid technique and the skills each child needs to reach their fullest potential.  This program has developed swimmers from beginner all the way to NCAA recruiting.  Each year, we have swimmers who achieve A, AA and AAA times, and more than 50% of our swimmers achieve at least one BB time each season (this season may be higher).  We may not always have the best talent, but we do have some of the hardest workers in our league -- and it shows through 12 consecutive Division Titles. I'd like to take what I've learned here, and work to help build a program when we return stateside.  I want to continue to learn from some of the best coaches the U.S. has to offer, as well as taking various continuing education courses through ASCA.  I hope to work alongside coaches who strive to be their very best in order to inspire more swimmers to do their very best -- while making a lifetime of wonderful memories in and around the pool.
