New full-time Assistant Coach Danielle (Dani) Davis. danidavis@apu.edu, (925) 207-5629 I am going into my junior year at Azusa Pacific University where I am majoring in communications studies with an emphasis on interpersonal relations. Upon graduation I hope to work as an academic counselor for young adults. I have extensive experience working with children and have worked at a Christian summer camp for junior high and high school students for the past two years. In addition to teaching swim lessons at the YMCA, I swam for the YMCA recreational team in junior high school. As a student at Deer Valley High School, I swam on both junior varsity and varsity swim teams all four years and competed on the water polo team for three years. My primary stroke was sprint free followed closely by the 100 IM. Swimming was such huge part of my life and I am very excited to be joining the Aquaknights this season!
New part-time coaching assistant Kendra Niedziejko. I am excited to become more involved with the Aquaknights as my six-year old daughter loves the team. I swam with the San Ramon AquaCats and California High School, and helped coach the 6 and under swimmers on the AquaCats while swimming. I was a lifeguard and instructor for over seven years at the Sequoia Country Club in Oakland and at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. In my last year at Cal Poly I was the Aquatics Director, in charge of all aquatics programming and a lifeguard staff of approximately 25 people. While at Sequoia and Cal Poly, I taught private and semi-private swim lessons to all ages, specializing in children who didn't function well in the group lesson scenario. Finally, I was named varsity captain my senior year in high school, based on technique and leadership qualities. I look forward to working with the Aquaknights coaching staff and your children this summer.

The swimmer coach concept is new to our team. Through this position we are emphasizing leadership and motivation to our younger swimmers through words as well as action. As they are age-eligible, our swimmer coaches will represent our team and compete in the 15-18 age group to promote a healthy team culture and promote our long-term goals.
