Daniel has developed a great passion for swimming over the past 16 years. This had lead him not only to teach, coach, and compete in swimming, but to study the dynamics of the strokes as it relates to exercise physiology and kinesiology.
As a highly accomplished NCAA Division I swimmer for UC Irvine, he has competed at US Nationals, the FINA World Championship Trials, the NCAA National Championship, the 2004 & 2008 Olympic Trials, and ranked among the top 25 fastest Americans in the 100 yard breaststroke in 2007.
He is CPR + AED, First Aid, and Water Safety Instructor (WSI) certified. Since 1999, he has spent countless hours in the pool teaching water safety to children ages 2 – 10 years. “I appreciate the importance of a sound swimming foundation for water safety at a young age, however, I believe fundamentals are essential. By focusing on small, achievable steps combined with simple, proven concepts, a child begins to feel comfortable in the water, and that’s where the real swimming can begin.”
His coaching style focuses on technique and form over speed and stamina. Proper technique is not only the foundation for competitive performance, but also serves to protect against injury. As an assistant Masters Swim coach, he learned firsthand how to help swimmers set achievable goals in order to help them improve and build upon existing talents.
Daniel has access to a 30 foot, year round, gated swimming pool in South Redondo Beach, maintained at a comfortable 85°. His lessons are full of positive motivation and rewarding activities.
