About Coach Dana

Coach Dana grew up in California, so being outside in the sunshine and around water was normal. It’s also in her blood—she comes from a family of swimmers! If Coach Dana wasn’t at the pool or beach swimming or surfing, she was likely running through a sprinkler. She started swimming competitively in 1976 and has been working in aquatics since 2005. 

 

Coach Dana is professionally trained and experienced in teaching private and group lessons, coaching, lifeguarding, instructing water safety, and operating and maintaining pools. She has used her experience to develop her own style of swim instruction with proven success.

 

Help Coach Dana teach the world about water safety so lives can be saved, one lesson at a time.  This is her passion. This is Coach Dana’s intent. There are far to many lives lost unnecessarily.   Everyone can swim.  There are just a few tricks to it.  Learn these tricks by enrolling in lessons with Coach Dana today!

Testimonials

What are people saying about Swim with Coach Dana?

Olivia absolutely loved swim lessons with Coach Dana. She made sure Olivia learned swim safety and was calm and happy during lessons! She was able to go at the pace that made my daughter feel comfortable and we can't wait to return!!

Jenny

We love Coach Dana! She taught my 5 girls, all different ages and skill levels, with a professionalism and great skill. She had a very structured class time that included improving/learning skills and strokes. At the same time she really assessed the kids and knew when a game was needed that used skills they already knew but also provided them with a break. I have had my kids in many group classes through community centers and private clubs and my children learned a small fraction in comparison to what they learned while taking lessons from Dana. One thing we loved about Coach Dana was her ability to break down a stroke and really teach every element of it so they could be strong and efficient in each piece of the stroke. My kids were able to become strong swimmers that were comfortable and confident in the water. I highly recommend her for your family and loved ones.

Chloe has loved swim lessons this week. Her school teacher says she knows all about [Coach Dana] now. Chloe has been talking [her] up!!

Krista

We have been in swim lessons with Coach Dana for the past 2 summers, and my boys adore her! They are so bummed on days that we don’t have lessons scheduled. Every summer their progress is huge, and the understanding of safety around water that she teaches is great! She is fun, but stern. She encourages them to push themselves, while building confidence. She is great with all ages. My oldest started working with Coach Dana when he was 4 and in 2 summers worth of lessons he was able to independently swim the full pool alone. I highly highly recommend having your child take classes with Coach Dana, my kids can’t wait to see her again soon!

Coach Dana is the best of the best!! Her ability to inspire confidence and motivate a toddler to swim is incredible. She has so much patience and puts the child at ease in an enthusiastic way. I've also been very pleased with the impeccable cleanliness and upkeep of the pool area. Last but not least, her professionalism and punctuality is very much appreciated. It's hard to find people like her these days! I have told everyone I know - GO SWIM WITH COACH DANA!! You won't regret it!

Jenna

Thank you so much for giving these boys confidence in the water and teaching them how to stay safe but also have fun. I'm extremely pleased at how far they have come since the very first lesson. We were able to have a lot more fun when we visited a pool this summer. Again, Thank you! These lessons were just what they needed and they loved spending time with you at your pool.
