About Davis Aquatic Masters (DAM)
DAM has a long-standing place in the community, and we strive to serve our swim members as well as our city.
DAM held their first official workout in 1974. The workout was attended by a handful of enthusiastic swimmers and a local aquatics coach. Little did they know that their optimistic efforts would someday result in one of the largest, most successful Masters swimming clubs in the country. Membership grew from its first 11 members in 1974, to an all-time peak of 710 members in 2014. Today DAM is 500 members strong, ranging in ability and age, from 18 to 92.
A Board of Directors was established in 1975 and the club incorporated. In 2011, DAM established 501(c)3 non-profit organization status. Board members are involved in all aspects of club management.
DAM is particularly proud of our history of offering 9 one-hour swim workouts every week day (pre-COVID), 3 intensive workouts on Saturdays, and 3 hours of lap swim sessions on both Saturdays and Sundays. Our club is also known for hosting many popular swim events, in particular, the Lake Berryessa Open Water swim which recently celebrated its 38th year!
Through the years, DAM has received numerous awards and recognition, including the USMS Club of the Year (2011), USMS Coach of the Year (1990, 2012), Long Distance National Championship (2019), USMS Newsletter of the Year (1997), and PacMasters Distinguished Service Award (2001), that confirm our long history of excellent coaches, coaching and dedicated swimmers.
