CEO / Head Coach Message
I just want to take a moment to say thank you.
Thank you for your flexibility with the recent facility adjustments. Thank you for showing up consistently. Thank you for being part of what makes DAM such a strong and special community.
It’s easy to focus only on the day-to-day workouts, but what makes this club exceptional is the people — the consistency, the encouragement on deck, the volunteers who step up, and the shared commitment to improvement.
Behind the scenes, we are continuing to put systems in place to make DAM more sustainable, more organized, and stronger for the long term. That means planning events that bring our community together, developing programs that help adults learn to swim and feel confident in the water, planning ahead financially, and thinking strategically about facilities and programming.
Our goal is simple: to build a club that thrives not just this season, but for years to come.
I’m proud of the direction we’re heading, and I’m grateful to be building it with all of you. Thank you!

Pool Update
Work has begun at Arroyo, and they’re getting close to being done. The City is currently waiting on final permitting, which we’re hopeful will be completed soon.
In the meantime, we’ll continue operating on our adjusted schedule. This week, we do not have access to Arroyo or Manor.
Starting next week, we plan to return to our almost normal schedule:
Thank you all for your flexibility and patience as we navigate this transition. We appreciate you rolling with the changes!
Big Day of Giving – Tax Receipt Reminder
If you made a donation during the 2025 Big Day of Giving, thank you again for your support.

Thank you for supporting Davis Aquatic Masters — your generosity makes a real difference.
In Memory of Diane Lardelli
For those who have asked about honoring Diane’s memory, her family has shared that donations can be made to the Tahoe Fund’s East Shore Trail project. This fund supports the goal of building a walking path between two of Diane’s favorite places in Tahoe: Sand Harbor and Spooner Lake.
If you would like to contribute, you can do so here: Tahoe Fund
Thank you for continuing to support one another and our extended DAM family.
