Head Coach's Message

Thank you to everyone who attended the Zoom presentation with Dr. Cunningham. I found the presentation to be extremely interesting and informative. Dr. Cunningham is very knowledgeable and is a great resource for our club. If you missed the presentation or would like to revisit it, follow the link below. You will need to be logged into the DAM website to access the link. Please do not share this link with anyone outside our organization. If you are interested in joining the DAM group on the On Form app, email Brian (brian@theswimdoc.com) and he will get you set up.

P.S. A few people have asked me about the workout rotation. I am following the same pattern as Stu and Mary: Day 1 - Kick/Pull, Day 2 - IM, Day 3 - Sprint, Day 4 - Distance. Saturdays have been reserved for stroke (non free) workouts. Holidays are typically going to be sprint or holiday specific workouts. If you have questions about the workout rotation, feel free to reach out to me.

Lake Berryessa Swim -- Help Needed

Do you or someone you know have graphic design/Photoshop skills? Would you (or they) be interested in volunteering some time to help design the logo for the next Lake Berryessa Swim? If so, reach out to Coach Matt (mzachan@damfast.org). We have a design idea but need some help getting it made. Thank you for all your support!!.
