Marc Danin

Marc Danin is entering his sixth season as the head coach for the Clarkson University Swimming & Diving program for the 2026-27 season.

School records have regularly been rewritten under the guidance of Danin, as the Golden Knights set 14 new standards during the 2025-26 campaign, 11 for the men and three for the women. The previous season of 2024-25 saw the Green and Gold break 13 school marks (seven for the men and six for the women). Clarkson's men placed fourth in the Liberty League Championships for the third straight season, while the women took ninth. One of Clarkson's divers, Gavin Cibelli, also earned a spot at the NCAA Division III Diving Regionals, the first time a Golden Knight has qualified since 2019.   

A 2016 graduate of Oswego State with a degree in English, Danin most recently worked as assistant coach and aquatics manager at Vassar College, though the Brewers did not compete in the 2021 season due to the pandemic. Before his stint at Vassar, Danin served as assistant coach for St. Lawrence University while working on his graduate degree in Educational Leadership. While serving as assistant for the Saints, Danin was responsible for training programs as well as individualized strength and conditioning programs based on events and goals. He also developed video analysis to improve upon the St. Lawrence swimmers' approaches to their individual events.

While coaching in Canton, Danin also served as head swim coach at the Northport Yacht Club, leading a group of 145 athletes from the ages of 5 to 18.

Prior to his stint at St. Lawrence, Danin served as coach for Islanders Aquatics in Sayville, NY, where he served as coach and mentor to four athletes to score in the top thirty spots at the NSCA Junior Nationals, with two having nationally-recognized top 25 times in the country for their respective events and age groups.
