Born and raised on the beautiful Mediterranean island of Cyprus, Kypros Nicolaou entered the world of swimming at the young age of nine, and from there on everything started. Chasing his dream, after finishing his army service, he left the island to study, working his way to earn a B.Sc. degree in Sports & Fitness Management, and soon after that a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from the University of Alabama, in the USA.
