About
I bring over 10 years of experience as a swim coach, lifeguard, and water safety instructor. My approach is personal and patient. I meet swimmers where they are and push them just enough so their confidence grows stronger each lesson. With professional training, including a CPR & First Aid certification, I make sure every client leaves the pool feeling safer, faster, and proud of what they accomplished.

I have had 2 lessons with Dalin and plan to have more. I am very much enjoying the lessons and have felt he has been a really good teacher! I am comfortable in the water but dont know how to swim strokes or tread water, and am now starting to learn both. He was responsive and understanding from the start and was willing to work with my schedule. As a teacher he is patient, thorough, detail oriented, and friendly. I felt safe and comfortable with him. Facilities are wonderful. I highly recommend Dalin as a swim teacher for any age!

My 5-year-old used to refuse swim lessons, his first coach was “boring.” Then we found Coach Dalin, and everything changed! In just six lessons, my son went from avoiding the water to swimming across the pool, floating, diving, and loving every minute. Coach Dalin is fun, patient, and great with kids; my son now counts the days until swim class! Highly recommend him!!
