Coach Biog
Ever since Dan's mum threw him in pool at the tender age of 4 and instructed the lifeguards not to rescue him, he has loved the water. Dan swam competitively for his school, region and country as a youngster. Another of his hobbies was cycling and he would often disappear for days with his bike and friends on mammoth cycling expeditions into Wales. After working hard, training hard and playing hard he now has a new love of triathlon (but not so much the running part...) and wants others to get the most potential out of their training (and playing).
Dan is an assistant coach for the Monday and Friday intermediate squad swim sessions and fill in coach when the needs arise.
