Welcome! I’m Daniel, founder of NorCal Swimming, a swim instruction service dedicated to helping swimmers of all ages and abilities unlock their potential year around. Whether it’s learning to float for the first time, mastering competitive strokes, or shaving seconds off a triathlon swim.
With over two decades of experience in the water as a coach, instructor, and competitor, I specialize in:
Kids and beginners gaining water confidence
Adults overcoming fear of swimming
Competitive swimmers refining technique and drop time
Triathletes, CrossFitters, and open water swimmers training for performance and endurance
Dryland training for competitive swimmers and triathletes/open water swimmers
Every lesson, whether in person or online, is designed to be efficient, personalized, and encouraging. I meet swimmers where they are — and help them go farther than they thought possible.
Expert Instruction Across Disciplines
From playful first splashes to elite race preparation, I tailor lessons to meet your exact goals.
Results-Driven + Supportive Approach
I combine proven technique drills with clear coaching and patient encouragement.
Flexible & Modern Learning
Choose private lessons, small group sessions, stroke video analysis, or online programs — all designed to fit your life.
A Trusted Partner in Your Swim Journey
I’ve worked with kids, parents, athletes, and nervous beginners — and I treat each swimmer like an individual, not just a time slot.
