Coach Bio

Hi, I’m Daniel, and I’m excited to welcome you to NorCal Swimming (NCS). My mission is simple: help swimmers of all levels unlock their potential through technique‑driven, confidence‑building coaching.

I’ve spent my life in the water — from competing in college to training and racing in masters swimming today. With 15+ years of experience as a swim instructor and nearly a decade as a competitive swim coach, I’ve worked with athletes across every stage of their journey.

My coaching specialties include:

• Competitive swimming — stroke refinement, race strategy, and performance development

• Triathlon swimming — efficient form, endurance building, sighting, pacing, long‑distance technique, and race‑day execution

Whether you’re learning to swim stronger, preparing for your first open‑water race, or chasing a personal best, I’m here to help you move with power, efficiency, and joy in the water.
