Meet the Coaches
Jessica Cabrera
Born and raised in Paraguay then came over to the USA in March of 2001. Grew up in New York playing soccer, volleyball, and swimming. Over the last decade or so I have been coaching various sports. I started coaching youth soccer and volleyball in my community in my teens. In 2014, I moved to Connecticut and started teaching swim lessons shortly after. It was a natural transition to start coaching on a swim team. I coached for Stratford YMCA and Rapids before moving over to Madison Racquet and Swim Club. My two main goals as a coach is to ensure athletes are injury-free with proper stroke technique and achievable goals. My second goal is to provide them with the tools they need to succeed in both their swimming and their personal lives. It is an honor and privilege to have the opportunity to coach all this wonderful kids.
I have always had a fascination with technology which lead me to study Automotive in high school. Currently continuing my education and taking class when I can. Outside of coaching I substitute in different districts.
Fun facts:
I hate the cold. Am an animal lover. I love to read all different types of books. I like watching TV like telenovela, anime, cartoons, crime, history, movies, and playing video games. Love puzzles and board games. I have old lady tendencies like crocheting, knitting, and sewing. I am a food and exercise fanatic.
Rocio Cabrera
I was born and raised in Paraguay, South America. I’ve moved to the U.S. in 2001. I grew up in New York, where I played soccer, volleyball, and swam during high school. I’ve been coaching for over 10 years, starting out in soccer and then moving on to volleyball. After relocating to Connecticut, my passion for coaching resurfaced through swim lessons at a local town pool. I believe in swim being injury free so it’s very important to me to always touch base on technique and improvement of technique. Which will lead to Learning how to swim fast!
In addition to sports, I’m a big fan of cooking! I’m a huge animal lover. Another of my favorite hobbies is learning, which I often do through avid reading, I read from history/physics to fantasy/mangas. I also love to draw and play strategy games, like chess. I also enjoy listening to music and going to live concerts. I’m happiest when spending quality time with my loved ones.
