Personal:

I would like to thank my loving wife Denise, my daughter Lindsey and son Seth for all their support in realizing the dream of Ohana. I am very excited for the day my children are old enough to join us in the pool.
A Message From Coach Dan:
"What do I do at Ohana Swim Team?

I take care of the every Ohana Swimmer as a  complete person-not just the swimmer.

I want you as an Ohana swimmer
to have a balance in life that allows growth and the ability to achieve success in all areas of your life.

Not only do I want you to swim at the State Level, but I also want you to have an outstanding GPA and a great
reputation in your community.

I will encourage you to set goals in swimming; as well as in family life, academics  and your community.

I realize that life is demanding, schools are competitive, and class work is challenging.

I would like to work with you so the time and energy you invest into your interests will reveal maximum results!

Come join our Ohana. 
Swim with the Honu."
