“My time as a swimmer under Carles was a fun and memorable two years. I had the biggest time drops of my career in my main events, the 200m backstroke (2:13.5 → 2:05.4) and 100m backstroke (1:00.9 → 58.0) within a year. Carles didn’t care if you were the best or the worst — he cared that you showed up and did your best. He focused on the process of getting better rather than the times themselves, which kept us moving forward and evolving as swimmers.”

“The years I spent training under Carles Jr. have been some of the best of my swimming career. He is a coach for everyone — whether you are competing at the international level or just trying to beat your own PBs. He mirrors your enthusiasm perfectly and will always go the extra mile to meet each individual’s specific needs. He is honest, tough but fair, and extremely competent. You will always feel 100% supported and have someone who believes in you and your capabilities — sometimes even more than you believe in yourself.”

“Working with Carles Jr. gave me structure and consistency. Every session had a clear purpose, and the long-term focus made me stronger.”

“I worked with Carles in 2016/17. After three years of knee trouble that limited me to 1500 m per session, the pain disappeared within three months and I broke my first Danish junior record (-2.5 s, ~8 s PB). The next year brought three medals, including EYOF gold. Carles is a gifted coach and an exceptional person”
