About DanSwim: Excellence in Swimming Education
At DanSwim, we believe that swimming is not just a skill but a lifelong journey that builds confidence, resiliency, and joy. Established by professional competitive swimmer Dan Novikov in 2019, DanSwim aims to offer world-class swimming classes to people with various abilities. Our goal is to foster a love for the water among swimmers of all levels while maintaining the highest safety and teaching standards.
From Passion to Purpose
Our Story
Novikov's love for swimming began as a young child and developed into a professional career competing at the college and international levels. A believer in the true power of swimming, he envisioned a space where people of any age could unlock their potential in the water, from learning the basics to mastering advanced techniques. That dream came true in 2019 when DanSwim opened its doors in the heart of New York City.
At our swim school, we believe that swimming is a crucial life-saving skill. We are proud of building confident swimmers by making swim education accessible, fun, and personalized. This way, our students can face their fears and build character by overcoming challenges while developing a lifelong relationship with the water.

A Personalized Approach to Swimming
Our Methods
At Danswim, we value each swimmer's uniqueness. That is why we developed a highly personalized method of teaching swimming, focusing on individual progress, comfort, and ability on each level. Our instructors are seasoned professionals with years of competitive experience and accomplished teachers who can modify their coaching techniques to meet student needs. We believe in breaking down complex swimming techniques into easily understandable steps, helping students build skills and confidence.
Our method incorporates the following key elements:
Step-by-Step Progression
Before moving to more complex strokes and skills, we begin with the basics, including body position, breathing techniques, and basic water safety. This provides the student with a good foundation.
Personalized Feedback
Every lesson is tailored to the specific needs and abilities of the particular student. Whether the student is learning to float or perfecting that freestyle stroke, our instructors can provide constant feedback to help them improve at their own pace.
Positive Reinforcement
Encouragement and motivation lie at the heart of our teaching philosophy. We find that students learn most effectively when they feel supported, so we deliver each lesson in a positive, confidence-building environment to accomplish the best results.
Safety First
At DanSwim, student safety is the number one priority. As such, all classes include the fundamentals of water safety so that swimmers are confident and prepared both in and around the water.
