A Southern California native, Dale Shimato’s competitive swimming background has spanned 30 years, and has included age group, collegiate, open water and Masters.

Dale has been coaching swimming for over 20 years. His coaching experience ranges from beginners to Olympians – including novice, age group, Jr. College, Division I collegiate and Masters swimming.

As a Masters swim coach, Dale has helped successfully trained triathletes, open water swimmers and competitive swimmers – helping them to reach their goals and potential.

One of Dale's strengths is his ability to explain and describe the many facets of swimming with easy to understand jargon, techniques and demonstrations.

Training Emphasis:

Dale’s Masters coaching philosophy: Since everything is optional in Masters workouts, I tend to offer more challenging workouts. An individual can do multiple things to make a workout easier for themselves – but it is much harder to do the opposite.
