2024 DV Sharks Head Coach
Head Coach - Daniel Gardner
Daniel grew up in Bristow Virginia where he spent his childhood summers swimming and coaching in the Prince William County Swim League. This is where he found his passion for swimming, coaching, and educating. He graduated from Patriot High School in 2018 and attended James Madison University where he got his Bachelor of Science in mathematics and statistics. During his senior year at JMU, Daniel joined the water polo club where his passion for being on the pool deck was reignited. Upon graduating, Daniel jumped back into coaching summer swim as an Assistant Coach within the PWSL, and has been an NCAP Bronze Level Coach and a Developmental Assistant Coach supporting Coach Nicole. In the Winter of 2022, he returned to Patriot High School as the Assistant Coach for Swim and Dive. Daniel will continue to coach for NCAP as well as coach the Patriot Swim and Dive team again this year. Daniel is excited to build an atmosphere centered around learning and fun while fostering growth of athletes on and off the pool deck. We are excited to welcome Coach Daniel as our Head Coach in Summer 2024! Coach Daniel can be reached at [email protected].
