Head Coach

Email

Mario Orsorio has been working with the Daly City Dolphins since 2000. He was formerly employed by the Daly City Parks and Recreation Department where he managed the Aquatics program. Mario graduated from Westmoor High where he swam for Westmoor team. While swimming for Westmoor he qualified for CCS and held the 100 yard butterfly record. That record has since been broken by a DCD swimmer who Mario trained.
Many of his DCD swimmers achieved PRT times,qualify for the Western All-Star meets, and continue to do so as they move on to other age groups. He has also coached several swimmers who have won High Point trophies and who have placed in several events in the Age Group Championships, JO's as well as Far Westerns. He looks forward to continuing to develop the talent of many more young swimmers. His main priority is to instill a life long love for swimming and the hard work necessary to achieve their goals.
