Coaching Staff

Head Senior Coach - Dan Haines

This is my 36th year in competitive swimming and 10th year at the helm of Flying Gull Aquatic, having founded the club in 2000.

I started swimming competitively at the age of 5 in the summer and YMCA leagues of South Jersey. Later in my youth, when my family moved to southern Delaware, I joined a fledgling age group swim team. Along with a core group of about a dozen swimmers, I helped put lower Delaware on the map of Middle Atlantic Swimming. read more >>
