Montero to lead coaches clinic in Funchal during European Aquatics Artistic Swimming Championships
European Aquatics will host a specialised coaches clinic on the opening day of the European Aquatics Artistic Swimming Championships Funchal 2025, with 2004 Olympian and highly-regarded coach Ana Montero leading a focused session on basemark analysis. Titled “Basemarks – video examples of routines”, the clinic will take place in just before the beginning of the event in Funchal, Madeira on June 1 at 9am local time in the Sala Lisboa on the first floor of the Pestana Casino Park.
The clinic offers a unique opportunity for coaches to deepen their technical understanding through real-world examples and expert guidance. Montero will guide attendees through the role of a Technical Controller, explaining how it is interpreted in practice and what the term “very obvious” should mean within this context. The session will also include real video footage highlighting incorrect or poorly executed coach card declarations, giving coaches practical tools to improve clarity and accuracy in routine submissions.
This clinic is part of European Aquatics’ ongoing commitment to providing accessible, high-quality development opportunities for coaches alongside major championships. Registration is now open via the European Aquatics Academy platform, and with limited spaces available, early sign-up is strongly recommended. The registration link can be found here.
