"Waschi"
“Only the best coaches know your weeknesses but always show your strengths"
Waschi's Open Water pathway was a long ongoing journey, but he hit the toughest challenges during Covid, when he caught the virus twice during preparation and just before the race.
The restrictions during that time lead to the qualification becoming a single person 25km pool race within 4hr 53min (World Champs.) and 4hr 57min (European Champs.).
We set everything on one card and he finished the pool race within a record time of 4:49:58,34, an average 100m pace of 1:09.

"Fritzy"
Die Zeit mit Peter war wirklich sehr besonders ich habe so viele Erfahrungen mit ihm erlebt. Nicht nur war Peter ein sehr guter Trainer, sondern auch ein sehr guter Freund und Mentor. Mit ihm gab es immer wieder Momente bei denen wir voneinander gelernt haben. Ganz besonders war es das Peter mit allem bei diesem Sport war. Er ist der der er ist weil er den Sport liebt so wie wir alles es machen. Er war, ist und wird immer mit ganzem herzen dabei sein. An eine Sache werde ich mich immer erinnern, die erste Dopingkontrolle mit Peter wo er dann meinte " fritzy wenn du getestet wirst heißt es das wir besser werden. ", nach diesem Satz hatten wir auf jeden einzelnen Wettkampf immer und immer wieder Kontrollen. Am Anfang fanden wir es beide sehr cool irgendwann war es einfach nur noch anstrengend doch wir haben es immer wieder gemeinsam geschafft.

"At first, I saw only coach Peter's performance, but when I spoke to him, I realized how great he is. Not only can he make my swimming incredible, but he can also improve my personality and have significant effects on my future coaching skills. You might find someone with such performance, but you won't find someone who cares enough to help you in and out of the pool with your decisions."

"I am very grateful for what you have done for me in the past year, from dropping me from a 29 at the beginning of the year to a 27.66 at Thai Nationals and for helping me drop almost 6 seconds off of my 200 Free.
Without your hard work I don't think I could have done it.
Thanks to you I was able to become Mississippi State Champion and open up more opportunities for my swimming. Thank you Coach."

“Péter knew what I was capable to swim, even when I didn't believe in myself - he believed in me. Even when I thought I wouldn't make it through the tough sets - he pushed me through it! We had a really good time, in practice and in competition."

“I like that Péter keeps pushing me to my limits and makes training for long distances not boring. Even from far away he managed to get the best out of me in short time. He really embraces his motto, I'm dying but enjoying it.”

Coach Jana has transformed our group, from a bunch of school parents who enjoy swimming, into a highly competitive Masters Swim Team with a string of medals and records under our belts. The progress has been truly remarkable. I don’t think we really understood that we could clock the race times we swam in the recent Thai Masters Nationals Championships.
Personally, her quiet confidence, along with recognition of my competitive spirit and a clearcut training program, is what enabled me to drop my times significantly closer to those of my youth. It is no longer painful to hear my times yelled out across the pool!
I highly recommend her to anyone who needs genuine encouragement and coaching support to improve their performance. She is the best thing that ever happened to our squad - we hope to go on breaking National records to make her proud !
Bangkok at Thailand Masters Swimming Championships 2024
Over 30 medals won, two Masters Championship records smashed, all team's and PB's.
I was more than happy to contribute to this list by winning silver in 50m butterfly, silver in 4*50 Free relay and bronze in mixed Medley relay.
Even though each and every of the team put in every effort, time and heart to come where we are now, l would like to take a moment to say enormous thanks to our friend and loved Coach Jana who has come alongside 1.5 years with us thus bringing the team to the Masters Championships level..
Your legacy has nurtured both skills and will in our minds to win which you could watch over these two hard and long days.
Again, thank you Jana.
My 10-year-old daughter, Sascha, had the privilege of training with Coach Jana for 18 months, and I can confidently say she is the best coach Sascha has ever worked with. Jana’s dedication, expertise, and genuine passion for swimming were evident in every session. She not only improved Sascha’s technique and performance but also instilled a love for the sport and a sense of confidence that extends beyond the pool. Jana has become such an important part of Sascha’s journey that we know she will always be a part of our lives. We are so grateful for everything Coach Jana has done and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional coach. - Jenny
My name is Sascha, and I was lucky enough to have Jana as my swimming coach. She always pushed me to do my best, even when I thought I couldn’t, and it really paid off in my competitions. Jana helped me improve my technique, build my confidence, and get new personal bests. I was really sad when she couldn’t coach me anymore, but I’ll never forget everything she taught me. Jana is the best coach ever, and I’m so thankful for everything she did to help me. ❤ -Sascha
Two years ago, Eloise, then just 8 years old, took her first strokes into the world of competitive swimming under Jana's expert guidance. What an incredible journey it has been! Jana has not only helped Eloise develop self-confidence, discipline, and rigor but has also made the process exciting and fun every step of the way.
Jana’s unique ability to connect with her students shines through. She quickly builds a strong bond, earning their respect and admiration while inspiring them to give their best. Striking the perfect balance between being firm and nurturing, Jana is more than just a coach—she’s a true role model for the entire group. Eloise's progress is a testament to Jana's dedication and exceptional coaching talent.
