He helped improve my stroke within two practices!!!
(Tarpon Springs, Florida)
The best you can imagine!!!
(Brandon, Florida)
Coach Leo is one of the most thorough and knowledgable swim coaches that I've ever met. He took me from not being able to swim 50 meters to swimming 2 miles uninterrupted. His patience and teaching methods along with his ability to communicate his teachings in several different ways to accommodate different style learners is unsurpassed. You won't find a better coach or individual than Leo.
(Clearwater, Florida)
I've always been scared of the water, and especially of Open Water Swimming. After my first lesson with Coach Leo, my fears were alleviated and I was excited to go swimming. He is patient, thorough and extremely knowledgeable, and that, in turn, provides you with confidence in him as a coach and in yourself as a swimmer. He also has an encouraging, can-do spirit that shines through in his coaching. Every lesson since then has only increased my confidence and ability in the water. I can't recommend him enough--Leo is a truly awesome coach.
(Clearwater, Florida)
Without exceptions the best and most patient coach you will ever meet. Always willing to go the extra mile to help
(Safety Harbor, Florida)
When I first started attending open water lessons with Coach Leo I was full of apprehension, anxiety, and lack of confidence. Leo, with his cool-calm-collected demeanor, has help revert those issues. I have come a long way and now feel more relaxed, capable, and more confident in the open water. Leo has the rare ability to work with people of all abilities. He is inspiring, non-judgmental and equipped with many tricks of his trade to make you PROGRESS. Leo is GOOD STUFF!!!
(New York, New York)
One of the most patient, thorough swimming coaches I've ever had. From youth to elite level Triathlete, Coach Leo is the best!
(Saint Petersburg, Florida)
Coach Leo is extremely enthusiastic and motivating. He is knowledgeable and is very good at teaching triathletes the art of open water swimming. On top of that he is also one of the most stand up guys in the area!
(Clearwater, Florida)
Coach Leo is an incredible coach and a better person. He helped me as a beginner swimmer overcome OWS anxiety and helped me reach my tri goals. This is the man you must see to fix, improve, or otherwise take your OWS to the next level!
(Tampa, Florida)
Leo pushes the capital 'I' in Integrity whatever direction you need!!!
(Belleair, Florida)
Coach Leo is the best swim coach out there! He is extremely knowledgeable and patient and makes sure you understand the concepts he is teaching. He helped me improve my stroke and confidence in the water. He definitely goes the extra mile to give you a high quality lesson! I highly recommend him!
(Tampa, Florida)
Amazing coach! Patient & knowledgeable. I was afraid to swim in the ocean until I met Coach Leo!
(Tarpon Springs, Florida)
Coach Leo, thank you soooooo much!!! Even after 20 years in the water you managed to tweek my stroke and make me A. faster, but more importantly to me, you help me relax in the water. You are a stud, a rock star, and a kick ass swim coach!!!
(Bradenton, Florida)
I've worked with many good swim coaches but have never experience results like I have with Coach Leo. He was a way of giving simple guidance that allows you reach your potential. With each hour session, I feel I improve tremendously. Love Coach Leo's patience & passion for triathlon!
(Mc Dill Tampa, Florida)
I was a member of a swim team in two countries for 8 years, and a lifeguard on Mediterranean beaches for 3 years. I stopped OWS for 40 years, became obese, and lost my athleticism! At 64, my Tri friends kept telling me to come to the Outspokin Tuesday Night OWS Training. It was the best! Leo & the entire group gave me confidence. motivation and inspiration that is priceless! When you see your Coach at every Tri you do, you know he's committed. He focuses on EVERY Triathlete out there. You are proud of you coach...and Leo is human!
(Diunedin, Florida)
I've never seen Leo without a smile. He is full of positive energy and encouragement, and his passion is apparent in his involvement in the community and dedication to helping others succeed..
(Saint Petersburg, Florida)
Coach Leo is awesome. Very knowledgeable about swimming. Helped me a lot. I picked up a lot of great tips to improve my swimming and performance in triathlons.
(Saint Petersburg, Florida)
He is knowledgeable, patient and talented. Hard to find those three things in one coach. Great job, Leo!.
(Saint Petersburg, Florida)
Thanks to Coach Leo's OWS on Tuesday nights, I have learned to swim in pretty rough water and am overcoming my fear of the open water. He is so patient and always so encouraging! Thank you Coach Leo!.
(Tarpon Springs, Florida)
I started swimming this year and was introduced to Leo Briceno through his OWS Program at Clearwater Beach and at the Long Center through Outspokin Bicycles. Leo's clear passion and dedication to Crosstraining is proven in the community of Athletes that surrounds him. Leo doesn't only push his Athletes, he motivates them, inspires them and helps them to set and achieve what they never thought possible. Leo has assembled a group of Athletes and through working out together and having fun, he has developed a community of great people and lasting friendships. In a sea of digital coaches, it is great to have real Coaches like Leo. Coaches that take personal pride in working with and speaking to their Athletes. Coaches that are less about self promotion and more about the development of a sporting Community for health, wellness and our future generations. Thank you Leo for all that you do.
(Westchase, Florida)
Leo's the best! While you swim past him he'll give you advice to help you reach your goals in swimming!
(Orlando, Florida)
I have been to numerous swim coaches but never seemed to get better. Once I started working with Coach Leo, I not only got faster, but I had a lot more energy going into T1 and on the bike! He is great at correcting your faults which you or others can't see! Great coach and a wonderful human being!!!
(Madeira Beach, Florida)
The Best! (mic drop).
(Havana, Cuba)
Super energetic, knowledgeable and patient!!! Always helpful!!!.
(Dunedin, Florida)
Leo has incredible knowledge, skills and experience to improve YOUR open water skills at all levels. He will assess your stroke and give you easy to understand drills to make you a stronger, comfortable swimmer in open water. He is warm and welcoming and super fun. Leo plays an important role in ows coaching.

Leo is a great coach! He listens to the needs of the athlete and will work well with a beginner to an advanced athlete!!
(Tierra Verde, Florida)
. Love my coach Leo he is the best! He is so encouraging and loves the sport. I prefer the black line in the pool although I admire all my triathlete buds. You are amazing!
(Saint Pete Beach, Florida)
Wow, Where do I start? Leo is one of the best human being I know, so knowledgeable in swimming and teaching methods, he took me from no swimmer to a 1:15 per 100 meters, no yards "meters", He used to be a beast swimming and triathlons, but he decided to give back and started teaching over 20 years ago, I am just lucky to had his help, because it comes from the heart.
(Brasilia, Brazil)
I spent some time practicing swimming drills with Leo and I am definitely impress by his knowledge and expertise. Thank you Leo - see you soon in another practice.
(Barceloneta , Puerto Rico)
Leo has a tremendous amount of experience that allows him to really push your limits to become the very best athlete you can become.
(St. Petersburg, Florida)
Leo is super patient, kind and understanding when coaching any level swimmer. He gives you confidence in any situation. Love him!!
(Safety Harbor, Florida)
Leo is the best person to know in the tri community! Leo's out there to help anyone, encourage everyone. He takes the best candid pictures that a lot of people don't capture. He provides a great network! My favorite part is that Leo remembers your name!
(Tampa Bay, Florida)
My second time in the Open Water was a session with Leo. I had a huge fear of distance swimming, which was holding me back from Triathlon training. Leo's passion to build Novice to Elite swimmers is evident throughout the Tampa Bay area and beyond. Every Triathlete knows Leo for a reason. I would not be doing what I am doing without his patience and progressive recommendations. Even one tip can make a huge difference in swim technique and confidence. Thankful for his coaching, mentoring and new friendship.
(Saint Petersburg, Florida)
Coach Leo is the best swim/triathlon coach in the Tampa Bay area, probably the best in the whole southeast. I recommend getting to know him if you haven't yet at his Tuesday night open water swim at Clearwater Beach. Swimmers of all skill levels are made to feel welcome. He's also one of the best human beings that I've had the pleasure of knowing. I wish I could make it out more often!
(Clearwater, Florida)
Can't find a better person than Leo. He gave myself and other triathlete buddies the confidence to progress to open water swims. Leo's rainbow river outings will be one of the best experiences of your life. Just come out to Clearwater beach one Tuesday night to swim and see for yourself why Leo has such a large following. It's the highlight of my week!

- Releasing Pain & Improving Structure -
According to recent research most pain symptoms are considered idiopathic, which means no known cause. We believe the reason there is no known cause is that proper investigation into the soft tissues is not being performed.
Neurosomatic Therapy, or NST is a way to analyze and thoroughly explore your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and organs to find these hidden sources of pain.
