The Spanish swimming coach who now lives, trains, and coaches in the Canary Islands of Spain, has a different approach to coaching swimming that doesn\u2019t revolve around meters, equipment, or 100-meter repeats. With swimmers of all ages, from around the world, from beginner to professional triathletes and swimmers, under his guidance, just maybe Aranda is on to something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aranda started swimming at nine years old and within two weeks he had learned all four strokes. \u201cI always had a good feeling in the water,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m always relaxed in the water. I feel safe and happy, and it was like that from the beginning. When I started to compete, my goal was always to achieve that feeling of calm. I\u2019m not the strongest swimmer but, all the time, I can use my mind to swim well.\u201d Aranda was a member of the Spanish national team for years, ranked in the top 8 within Spain, and collected many accolades, medals, and honours. In his final years of university, Aranda knew he wanted to coach so he transitioned from being in the pool to being on deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But his mindset didn\u2019t change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/bewatertraining.com\/en\/medios\/9595.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bewatertraining.com\/en\/medios\/9595.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bewatertraining.com\/en\/medios\/9595-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aranda\u2019s superpower as a swimmer is the same superpower he has as a coach: his mindset. Now with two decades of coaching experience, he is focused on giving that experience and skill to every one of his swimmers. \u201cI give calm to my swimmers, working on their confidence and giving them tools and skills to help them have that calm and confidence the water,\u201d Aranda says. In practice, he says he mirrors that mindset in his actions, never yelling at his swimmers or having any negative energy. He tries to understand the mindset of his swimmers too, paying attention to body language, asking them how their day was, seeing how they put their equipment down, noticing if they are smiling. \u201cI can\u2019t always speak to them, but I can see, I always pay attention,\u201d he says. Aranda\u2019s philosophy doesn\u2019t mean his swimmers get off easy\u2014his hard training sessions are enough to push any athlete\u2014but it\u2019s about having a calm mindset, especially when you\u2019re being pushed physically and mentally, so you can work with the water, not against it.<br>\u201cYou have to be water,\u201d Aranda says. Or rather, like water. Drawing inspiration from the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, water can adapt to any situation, it doesn\u2019t fight, it flows, and so he tells his swimmers, \u201cthink, feel, flow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Water is the softest and most yielding substance. Yet nothing is better than water, for overcoming the hard and rigid, because nothing can compete with it.&#8221;<br>\u2014 Lao Tzu\u00a0\u00a0<br>\u201cThe water gives back what you give. If you give the water stress, the water gives you stress. If you move your hand in the correct rhythm, you\u2019re going to hold more water. You have to be in balance with the water,\u201d Aranda says. \u201cFirst, swimmers have to change their mind,\u201d he explains, noting it can be the most difficult step. Whether it\u2019s a fear of the water, a frustration from lack of improvement, or a competitive athlete looking for a new edge, \u201cthey have to think and feel, and then when they connect with the water, they swim faster,\u201d Aranda smiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/themagic5.com\/blogs\/news\/joju-aranda-wants-you-to-be-water\">Sarah Kim Bonner<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interesting article written by professional triathlete Sarah Kim Bonner for the brand of innovative swimming goggles The Magic 5, in which some of the secrets of the Be Water Training swimming improvement methodology developed some years ago by Joju Aranda are revealed.
