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.

My experience with Coach Dalin was great he quickly saw my pros and cons to swimming. He gives good advice and helps you visualize what’s wrong and how to be/get better. Overall 5 star and helps you get over your fears which is important.

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!

Definitely recommend for any adults looking to refine their swimming skills. He’s an experienced coach and will make you feel more confident in your swimming. Taught me so much in just 45 minutes, you’ll feel like you’re learning from a friend. 🙌🏼
