 Emerlindo C. Matienzo
I am beginning my 1st year with the BOSAY AQUATIC CLUB. I am married to my wonderful and understanding wife Lorena and we have a two handsome sons named Lorenzo Emzo who was born on September 28, 2007 and Emerson, born on last July 21, 2009. I currently teach Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health (MAPEH) at Marikina High School and at present is the coach of it's swimming team..

I have been involved with the sport of swimming since I was in high school and further enhance my skills and knowledge when I joined the Rizal Swimming Team under Coach Kemal Pasah Umih in Marikina Sports Center swimming pool. I also became a member of then Rizal Technological College swimming team competing at the SCUAA Meet.

I started coaching and teaching swimming with my nephews and joined the Marikina Swimming Club in 2000. After a year, I decided to form my own team (Aqua Gems Swimming Team) and began competing in different inter-club competitions under the National Capital Region Amateur Swimming Association and even became it's Secretary in 2001. I also teach PE 3 (swimming) for 13 years at the Pasig Catholic College with the Philsports swimming pool as our venue.

In 1998, I developed the Philippine Swimming website which I learned when I was given a scholarship by AMA computer college in Marikina about windows based software. It's address is http://www.swimmingpinas.com.

As of now I am certified Level 2 coach by the World Swimming Coaches Association (getting a perfect score in it's Level 1 examination) and a certified swimming official of the Asia Amateur Swimming Federation. As Head Coach, I strive to teach my swimmers about sportsmanship while focusing on each swimmers overall improvement and success as a member of the BOSAY AQUATIC CLUB.
