"Helped my child stop vomiting before her races."
"He got 100% PB's after the 1st week 😁"
Your Swimmer Trains Like A Beast. So Why Do They Freeze On Race Day?
Discover the mental training system Olympic swimmers use to stay calm, confident, and race even better than they train - starting with a free 14-day trial.
Fix Pre-Race Nerves. Build Rock-Solid Confidence. And Enjoy The Ride Home - No More Tears, Silence, Or "I Don't Know What Happened."
There are two kinds of swim parents:
Those who hope it gets better… and those who fix the pattern before it ruins their child’s dream.
The question is: Which are you?
Flavio Bucca went from panicking behind the blocks to 100% new PB's in 4 weeks.
Paul Niederberger became Switzerland's #1 open water swimmer and qualified for World Champs 2025 in Singapore.
Robert Badarau turned his old fear of racing into being Romania's #1 13yr old backstroker -without training more hours.
You've tried everything... but race day still feels like a gamble.
More coaching. More technique. Better nutrition.
But your swimmer still gets anxious, underperforms, or completely shuts down in competition.
And you’re left wondering: “Why does this keep happening?”
The problem isn't physical. It's mental. And most swim programs don't teach your child how to compete under pressure.
That's where we come in.

TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
🏊♂️ Used by families with age-groupers, national qualifiers, and even Olympians to crush nerves and unlock PBs under pressure
"Mind-Blowing Shift"
"We honestly thought our daughter was just like... a nervous swimmer 🤷♀️ turns out she was stuck in some loop no coach ever saw. after the first week w david, something clicked. she actually smiled behind the blocks. Hadn’t seen that in 2 yrs. dropped 4.3s. this isn't fluff, it’s more like a full reset."
- Karen, swim mom from the UK
"His Confidence Came Back"
"Tbh didn’t think it’d work this fast. My son used to dread every meet... now he walks in like he’s got something to prove 😂 And the confidence code thing?? magic. he runs that little script in his head before every race now. i just sit back and watch him go."
- Russell, swim dad from Ireland
"Better Than I Thought"
"i booked the call thinking like ugh ok what’s another mindset thing... had NO idea this would be the thing that actually brought my daughter back to the sport. She’s still training the same... but racing way better. and she’s smiling again. def recommend.”
- Leanne, swim mom from Switzerland
"Like A Secret Weapon"
"My 16yr old hates talking about feelings. That’s why this actually worked I think. It’s not all deep emotional stuff, it’s like legit performance science. Every bit of it is stuff they can use right away. Honestly I'd only tell other swim parents I like about this 😂 it’s that good."
- Paul, swim dad from Germany
"Feels Like Magic As David Said"
"I tried pep talks, therapy, even visualisation stuff... nothing really stuck. But the way David explained how the brain works under pressure—my daughter finally got it. She does that 5-min reset every morning now and it’s not just for swimming... her whole vibe changed to the positive. Very thankful!!"
- Bjorn, swim dad from Denmark
"Crazy Results And We're Happy"
"Before working with David my son was training like mad but nothing showed up in meets 😩 now he just qualified for Nationals, hit his first PBs in a year and literally said I feel like I know what competition is all about. That’s when I knew it was 1000% worth it."
- Cornelia, swim mom from South Africa
Meet Your Coach:
David Karasek
Hi, I'm David. I swam at the 2012 Olympic Games for Switzerland.
But a year before that, I choked at NCAA Champs.
That moment changed everything.
My university brought in Michael Phelps' sports psychologist...
And that's when I learned how to swim fast under pressure.
Now I teach your swimmer the same tools.
Simple. Proven. Life-changing.
Today, you break the pattern.
I’ve spent years studying performance psychology, neuroscience, and race-day behavior to build a new framework—one that helps swimmers train their mind the same way they train their body. What we’ve created isn’t just mental coaching. It’s a complete rewiring system.
Inside the SwimPros Framework, your swimmer will learn how to:
Flip anxiety into razor-sharp focus in under 5 minutes
Trigger confidence without faking it
Swim free from the fear of judgment, failure, or letting you down
Perform in competition the same way they crush it in training (but a lot faster!)
They’re not broken. And you’re not failing them. They just need a system no one’s shown them—until now. This is your turning point as a swim parent. This is their turning point as an athlete.
“Mental training isn’t about changing who your swimmer is. It’s about reshaping how they see themselves - until confidence feels like truth. The question isn’t if their mind will be shaped. It’s by what - fear, doubt, pressure… OR belief, clarity, and courage. You don’t need to push them. You just need to give them the tools to rise.”
Everything Your Swimmer Needs to Perform—When It Matters Most.
Your swimmer’s brain is a pattern-recognition machine.
It responds to pressure the same way, every time:
- Tight chest
- Shaky hands
- Racing thoughts
- Slower starts, missed turns, poor finishes
And the more it happens, the deeper the pattern becomes. But here’s the breakthrough: those patterns aren’t permanent.
With the right mental techniques, grounded in neuroscience, we can disrupt the fear loop—and rewire it. This isn’t sports psychology the way you’ve heard it before.
It’s something far more precise: Neural reprogramming for athletes.

FAQs
About the Free 15-Minute Performance Scan
What exactly happens on the call?
We’ll identify the #1 mental block holding your swimmer back on race day—and give you a clear action step to overcome it. You’ll leave with more clarity and confidence than most parents ever get from months of trial and error.
Is this a sales pitch in disguise?
Nope. This is a real coaching call—not a pushy presentation. If we both feel it makes sense to work together afterward, we can talk. But the focus is giving your swimmer a breakthrough, not selling you something.
Do I need to prepare anything?
No. It's a plus when your swimmer can be there too. The call is fast, friendly, and 100% focused on helping your swimmer feel understood and supported.
What if my swimmer is nervous or shy?
Totally normal. This isn’t a performance review—it’s a safe, encouraging conversation designed to help them feel seen and heard. Most swimmers leave the call feeling relieved that someone finally gets it.
Will this really help if my swimmer has a meet soon?
Yes. In fact, it’s designed to help quickly. The scan works whether their meet is this weekend or months away. The sooner you fix the mental block, the sooner they start performing to their potential.
Most swimmers report noticeable shifts in their confidence and their times in practice within 1–3 days.
78% of our swimmers get new Personal Bests in their first competition after joining us (the other 22% are Olympians or international swimmers who don't PB as often anymore and it takes a bit more time).
What if we’ve already tried sports psychologists or mindset training before?
That’s totally fine. Most of the swimmers we help have already “tried everything” with limited results. What we do is very different—it's tailored to the swimmer's mindset under pressure, not general mental health.
Why is it free? What’s the catch?
There is no catch. This is the fastest way for us to show you what’s possible. If you love the clarity and results from the call, you might want to continue—we’ll let you decide that. No pressure, ever.

Beware: You're one season away from early burnout.
They train hard. They’ve got the talent. But when it matters most... they disappear. Not because they’re weak. But because no one ever taught them how to perform under pressure. And so they become “just another swimmer”—quietly losing confidence while others take the spotlight.
Not the best. Not the worst. Just… overlooked. It’s not fair. And it’s not your fault. But it is your choice now.
Do you let the cycle continue?
Or do you step in and give them the tools to finally break free?
