According to his coach Duncan Lang, Danyon is a very tough trainer. Workouts are freestyle based, with some butterfly work. He's never suffered from shoulder or other over-use problems. There is some dry land work with weights. It is a traditional swim-based program. Danyon is a student at university (physiology). He is in his final preparation for Atlanta where he will be medal contender in the 200-400 freestyle and the 200 butterfly.
