Coach Dani Caldwell grew up in Salt Lake. She started her coaching career 30 years ago with Dolphin Swim Team in SLC (now OA). Over the years, she has coached dozens of State Champions, Utah State Championship Teams, and hundreds of qualifiers for local and regional championships meets. She is a four-time Coach of the Year for UHSAA, a recipient of the Atlas Coach of the Year Award, and an Education Level 5 (the highest) with the American Swim Coaches Association. 

For Coach Dani, satisfaction in coaching comes from seeing athletes achieve goals they thought were not possible. Ultimately, the process of becoming a great swimmer makes the athlete a great human. This is what inspires her at practice every day. She coaches the high performance Adventure 1 group.

With her family she enjoys world traveling, exercise and listening to music and books.

Coach Garrett grew up in St. George and Medford, OR. He is married to his wife Erika and has two adorable Golden Doodles, Ellie and Finn. Garrett began his journey in swimming as a swimmer for SUSA. He swam until he was 18 years old and even coached for the summer team at the time. He eventually went on to coach for Snow Canyon Highschool and now coaches for SUSA full time. 

For Garrett, coaching is about giving back to the community that did so much good for him growing up. The sport of swimming made him into the person he is today. Some of his greatest life mentors have been coaches, and he aspires to help kids learn and grow through the sport of swimming just as he did.

In his free time he enjoys film photography, taking their jeep out, and going to the gym.

She is passionate about helping swimmers grow not only in skill but also in character, finding joy in shaping them into stronger, more confident individuals in and out of the water. Outside of the pool, Tammy enjoys baking, reading, and spending quality time with her family.

Nancy Page brings over two decades of dynamic coaching experience, with a career shaped by a deep passion for swimming, a commitment to lifelong learning, and a unique ability to lead swimmers of all levels—wherever life has taken her. She began coaching in 2000 with the Arizona Country Club recreational team and has since built a diverse and impactful coaching résumé across multiple states and programs coaching in Arizona, Nevada, Hawai‘i, New Mexico, and Utah.

Throughout her journey, Nancy has embraced every opportunity to grow as a coach, learning from outstanding mentors at each stage of her career.

In 2014, Nancy moved to Maui, where she served as an age group coach and led the Learn-to-Swim program with the Maui Dolphins Swim Club until 2020. During that time, she also worked with the Hawai‘i Aquatics Academy, contributing to a groundbreaking statewide effort to provide swim education and water safety training to all schoolchildren in Hawai‘i. She also deepened her knowledge through clinics hosted at the University of Hawai‘i and professional development programs through the American Swimming Coaches Association (ASCA), gaining insight from some of the best minds in the field.

Even during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Nancy continued to support swimmers through her work with the VAST team in New Mexico. Moving again at the end of 2020, she started coaching in 2021 with the SUSA Stingrays here in St. George, Utah, bringing energy, technical expertise, and a nurturing approach to every athlete she coaches.

In 2023, Nancy founded Desert Dolphins Swim School, specializing in teaching infants, toddlers, and young children foundational water skills, safety, and swim team preparation. The program reflects her lifelong passion for early childhood development in aquatics and her deep belief that water comfort and safety are essential life skills.

Nancy is also proud to be a certified Swim Whisperer through the Swim Angelfish adaptive swim program, equipping her with advanced tools to support swimmers with sensory sensitivities, motor coordination challenges, anxiety, and a wide range of learning differences. Through this approach, she creates individualized pathways for success—meeting each swimmer exactly where they are.

Across every program, every pool, and every swimmer, Nancy brings warmth, expertise, and a deep belief in the power of swimming to transform lives.

Nancy’s coaching style is rooted in building strong fundamentals, fostering confidence, and encouraging a lifelong love of the water. Her broad range of experience, combined with the mentorship and learning she has pursued, makes her a powerful influence on the swimmers and teams she works with.
