About Nicolas Messer

    About Nicolas MesserMy name is Nicolas Messer. I was born and raised in Switzerland. In the summer of 2010 graduated from the University of Applied Sciences in Geneva, Switzerland with a degree in Computer Science. I’m currently living in Vevey (SUI) working as the Head Coach for Vevey Nataiton.

    Coaching

    For the past year I lived in the Florida Keys working as the assistant coach at The Race Club and coaching the Manatee Master Swim Club.

    Swimming

    I have been swimming competitively since the age of 10. Before my departure to the Keys I was training under Benjamin Paris with Lancy Natation in Geneva.

    Finswimming

    My passion for finswimming came from my two coaches, Chris and Raffi, during my time with the Geneva Swimming Team. Both of them were using monofins to improve their under water kick abilities and got me hocked as soon as we started to use them as well.

    Geneva Eagles

    Some of you might remember the Geneva Eagles Podcast. I was producing this new media portal surrounding the Geneva Swimming Team posting reports and results from meets as well as providing videos from the meets and other events. After the rupture between the Geneva Swim Club and myself I was understandably unable to continue the Podcast and it quietly disappeared. Although the portal no longer exists you can still access the videos archive on YouTube.
