Daniela Barnea first joined a swim team at 13 through the YMCA, and she now teaches swimming to people aged 2-72! Daniela holds many Huntsman World Senior Games records since she began her journey with our Games 13 years ago, but her excellence extends to national and international stages as well, with numerous USMS national records and most recently setting 10 USA national records, 20 Pacific records, and 4 world records at the Pacific Championships. Daniela's love for swimming is complemented by her passion for water polo, basketball, and healthy competition. Staying active evolved from a health strategy into a joyful hobby. She also enjoys traveling, meeting new people, and exploring different cultures. With a degree in graphic design, Daniela spends her free time creating art and learning new skills. She is also a dedicated mother of three and grandmother of eight.
