AURELIANO MORRIS
Aureliano Morris González holds a degree in Physical Education from the University of Panama and has extensive experience as a teacher, swimming coach, and lifeguard. He has ongoing professional development, including a Diploma in Sports Training from the Panamanian Olympic Committee, training from the International Swimming Federation (FINA), certification in aquatic rescue from SINAPROC (National Civil Protection System), lifeguard refresher courses, and a coaching course from the Panamanian Triathlon Union.
As an athlete and swimmer, he has participated in the Open Swimming Championship and in track and field competitions. This practical experience in the water, combined with his pedagogical training, has allowed him to perform effectively in both the educational and high-performance sports fields.
During his time as a coach and teacher, he has led swimming and lifesaving programs at numerous clubs (such as Los Halcones Rojos, Delfines Azules, Beldagans Plus, Las Pirañas, Los Escorpiones Negros, and Los Tiburones Blancos), as well as at prestigious schools and institutes like the Don Bosco Technical Institute, International School of Panama, Cristo de los Milagros Bilingual Institute, Colegio Internacional de María Inmaculada, and the Pan-American Institute. He has also worked as a lifeguard at the Clayton Pool and as an instructor in summer programs.
At a competitive and international level, he has stood out as coach of the Panamanian National Team in the Central American and Caribbean Swimming Championship (CCCAN) in Mexico (2024), in the AASCA International Competitions in Nicaragua, in the CODICADER Student Sports Games (El Salvador) and in the National Student Sports Games.
Their approach combines pedagogy, motor skills development, water safety and rescue, support for people with special educational needs, and comprehensive sports training from youth categories to the national team level.
