Pieter, who has been taking P2Life Nutritional supplements daily for almost 2 years, rocketed up the World Rankings last week, solidifying himself as #2 in the world in both the 50m and 100m Backstrokes. Coetze also currently sits #3 in the world in the 200m Backstroke.
This extraordinary accomplishment is extremely rare for a young man of only 18 years of age.
But Pieter Coetze is not new to the international scene, nor to standing on top of the winner’s podium. In 2022 he won gold at both the World Junior Championships and the Commonwealth Games where he beat the best England and Australia could muster.
Coetze, a high school senior, has started off 2023 where he left off in 2022. Last weekend, Pieter established personal bests in all six events he competed in at the South African Aquatic Championships.
Look below to see just three of the astounding improvements Pieter has accomplished since 2021:
| Long Course Meters | Time | 2023 World Ranking | 2022 World Ranking | 2021 World Ranking |
| 50 LCM Backstroke | 24.36 | 2 | 12 | 22 |
| 100 LCM Backstroke | 52.78 | 2 | 9 | 27 |
| 200 LCM Backstroke | 1:56.66 | 3 | 7 | 16 |
But his incredible improvement doesn’t stop there. Since last year Pieter has also dropped dramatically in the 50m Freestyle, going from a World Ranking of 85th last year to 19th this year with a blistering 22.18. In the 100m Freestyles, his quick 49.09 took him from not being ranked in the top 200 in 2022, to 29th so far this year.
It is no wonder the NCAA Champions Cal Bears cannot wait for young Mr. Coetze to join them after the Olympics. Pieter will delay his entry into college to stay in South Africa until then to train with his longtime and highly respected coach Rocco Meiring.
Pieter joins the new breed of superb and successful young swimmers such as Katie Grimes, Katharine Berkoff, Matt Sates and Gabriel Jett to name just a few of those who have each seen tremendous improvements in their swimming performance since adding P2Life Nutritional Supplements to their daily dietary routines.
Pieter Coetze loves his P2Life, recently commenting “My favorite is the Chocolate NutriBoost. I take it, the EnduroBoost Adaptogens and PowerBoost a couple of times each day. Together they really help my muscles recover quickly, my body feel rested every morning. My mom likes that it doesn’t taste of artificial sweetners”.

Pieter Coetze’s continued improvements and performances promise huge things on the world stage. So it is not a question of whether he will get faster or not, the only question is just how fast will he end up going.

THE P2LIFE ADVANTAGE EXPLAINED
The evidence is clear; an increasing number of swimmers are taking P2Life, and they’re consistently achieving Personal Best Times as they move up the World Swim Rankings.
As P2Life Founder and International Swimming Hall of Fame Inductee Tim Shead Explains. The ability to consistently train hard, improve, and become a world-caliber athlete, ultimately depends on the level of HEALTH of the athlete.
Everyone knows you can’t train properly if at all, or swim your fastest when sick. Nor when you are in hard training. Only when you taper and rest, or more accurately put, when you maximize your health, are you able to also maximize performance.
Given that simple fact, the only way to maximize your health, train consistently hard day after day, and ultimately improve your performance, is to make sure your body has every nutrient it needs 24/7/365.
That is exactly why P2Life Nutritional supplements were developed, and what they accomplish. And P2Life does it in three critically important ways.
First, P2Life supplements are nutritionally dense and complete, supplying every critical nutrient the human body needs. So nutritionally complete you could literally survive and thrive taking just P2Life. Given the tremendous daily nutritional needs of a swimmer, P2Life is guaranteed to fill any nutritional deficiencies that may exist from one’s daily eating routine.
Secondly, P2Life supplies additional important nutrients not found in normal foods, nutrients proven to safely and effectively increase your health and performance. If you don’t supplement with P2Life- you won’t get these important health, strength, recovery and performance-assisting nutrients.
And third, P2Life nutritional supplements do not bulk up an athlete or supply unnecessary calories. A swimmer must increase strength and power without gaining bulk or weight which greatly increases water resistance, sapping energy and slowing one’s ability to swim fast. P2Life promotes lean, powerful bodies that knife easier, more effectively and faster through the water.
P2Life are not magical potions! They are made up of concentrated, complete, highest-quality nutrients that will help enhance, even elevate your health above what would be possible without those nutrients. Together they help your body consistently train harder, recover faster, gain strength without bulking, and develop better stamina, all of which help ensure you to achieve higher and higher levels of health, and with it more consistent magical performances.
Pieter, like Katie, Katharine, Matt and Gabriel are just a few clear examples of this fact. As fast as they are all, they are still very young and their best is definitely yet to come.
If you are not taking P2Life,
You will be beaten by someone who is.
