My name is Danielle Chance and I am very excited to be starting off 2016 as the new Junior 1 coach at the Charlotte pool.
I have been a competitive swimmer for over 20 years. I excelled from age group into high school where I held multiple school records and was All State Champion two years running. I was recruited and received a full swimming scholarship to the University of Houston. After college, I started a career in marketing and graphic design until 2009 when my husband and I relocated to Florida so he could finish his chiropractic studies and get established in a practice in Punta Gorda. Once we moved to Florida I joined USMS and began swimming Masters. I currently hold multiple All-American individual and relay honors, including a world record. I am also ranked in both the USMS and FINA World Masters Top 10.
