Coach Jovel Queirolo

By day, Jovel is a middle school science teacher, but they've been passionate about swimming since their competitive age group days, from ages 8 to 18. Although Jovel took a break during college, they found their way back to the pool after moving to Oakland, starting a teaching career, and starting to swim and coach with TEME.
​
As a coach, Jovel loves helping swimmers improve, whether it’s gaining speed or refining technique. Jovel's true passion is open water swimming, especially in lakes. Outside of the pool, their main sport is CrossFit, and they're really interested in how strength training and weightlifting can enhance a swimmer's mobility and performance.

Jovel lives in Oakland with their fiancé, two cats, and one dog, and they're excited to help others achieve their swimming goals!
