Head Coach Message
We’ve got some exciting opportunities coming up for DAM swimmers! starting with the Pacific Masters stroke clinics being held on Saturday September 7th in Novato—free for members and a great chance to sharpen your skills.
Then in early October, the Pacific Masters Short Course Meters Championships take place in Walnut Creek, and I’d love to see us bring a big DAM squad to race hard, score points, and have fun as a team.
And finally in November, it’s time once again for our legendary Brute Squad challenge—your chance to take on some of the hardest events in swimming and earn your Brute status while supporting the team.
I encourage everyone to get involved—more details below!

Do you enjoy working with adults and being part of the best USMS team in the country? Do you want to help DAM maintain its 48 workouts per week? If so, we’d love to have you on our substitute coaching staff!
We’re looking for people with flexible schedules who can step in to lead workouts when our core coaching team is out—whether that’s for vacations, illness, or USMS meets and events.
If you (or someone you know) are interested, reach out to Coach Matt at mzachan@damfast.org.
