Meet the Coach

Coach Danny Peleg

Danny brings a wealth of experience to SwimBetter as a former IDF Navy SEAL captain, where his affinity for water became deeply ingrained. His swimming journey began through triathlons and Ironman competitions, where he honed his skills as an open-water swimmer.

Danny’s introduction to Total Immersion (TI) swimming came directly from the late Terry Laughlin, the renowned founder of the technique. Drawing from over 14 years of teaching TI, Danny has developed a reputation for his immersive teaching style—he never stands dry on deck but instead dives into the water alongside his students, guiding them through every stroke with hands-on expertise.

Outside of coaching, Danny continues to push his own limits in the water, participating in various endurance events and sharing his passion for swimming with others. Hundreds of students from around the US have already learned TI from Danny.
