One Hour Swim National Championship 2010

Someone in this crowd of DAM members swam the 1 millionth yard in the One Hour Swim National Championship at the 10 a.m. Sunday workout slot. Since they all swam at the same time, it was impossible to tell which exact swimmer logged the magic million yard. So they all shared a piece of the the prize (the donuts, of course) at the million yard celebration ceremony.

Hot DAM

We're the 1-Hour Swim National Champion

Davis Aquatic Masters has been officially notified that it is top in the Extra Large Team Category for the 2010 1-Hour Postal Swim National Championship, which was held in January.

In the write-up of the results, here's what U.S. Masters had to say about DAM and top finishing clubs:

"The undisputed overall winner was yet again, Davis Aquatic Masters with 312 swimmers and total yardage of 1,084,425. Relative newcomer, Asphalt Green from New York City clearly wins the “most improved” category, as they leap-frogged into the Extra Large Team Category (227 swimmers) from the Small Team Category in 2009 (6 swimmers). That's what we like to see!"

As many know, the master's team at Alphalt Green is coached by former DAM assistant coach, Craig Keller.

Trans Tahoe Swim 2009

Yesterday, (Saturday, July 19, 2009) I swam in a 6 woman relay across Lake Tahoe. The race is 11.5 miles and the water temp was 62 degrees. We were very lucky as it was a beautiful, hot day yesterday in Tahoe and for the first few hours the lake was pretty smooth. The cut-off time for the race is 6 hours and our time was, no lie, exactly 6 hours and 4.4 seconds. I figure - close enough!For those of you who swim on DAM, my other teammates besides Liz were Megan, Tracy, Linda, and Allison. Rod, Megan's husband, was our boat captain, and Brian, Allison's boyfriend, was our timer/cheerleader. Max, Rod and Megan's dog, was our team mascot. It was a great day and boy did I sleep well last night.

A word of advice. Watch these videos using a computer with a fast internet connection and processor. You will still be able to see them on a slower computer, but there will lots of frustrating pauses in the video stream.
