Coach Dolbinin

Coaching Built on Experience.

Coach Dolbinin brings 19 years of swimming experience and 7 years of coaching experience to every athlete he works with. He has coached competitive club swimmers, age-group athletes, adults, and triathletes, with one consistent focus: technique that holds up under race pressure.

His coaching is precise and individual. He identifies the few changes that will make the biggest difference, explains them clearly, and builds them into the stroke until they are automatic. The result is swimming that is more efficient, faster, and more confident.
