Benefits of Becoming A Member

Not only do you have access to some of the best swimming facilities in the area, you also have access to a network of world-class swimming facilities in other cities when you travel. DAM also hosts a number of club-sponsored social events including trips to competitive swim meets. In addition, DAM members are offered special swim clinics, one-on-one training and discounts at sporting stores such as Luke’s Locker, D & J Sports and Bicycles Plus. We also publish a newsletter called FREESTYLE several times a year.

Club Sponsored Social Events: Club-sponsored social events, coordinated by the team Social Committee, are offered almost monthly. Team socials are broadcast by email regularly, and announced at the swim practices. Such events may include Red-Eye breakfasts, post-meet social outings, and the occasional get together following a practice. These events are very fun, and provide opportunities to meet team members outside of the swimming arena.

Organized Trips to Swim Events: Each year, the Dallas Aquatic Masters participates in a variety of out-of-town swimming meets and events. Generally, plans are made in advance to accommodate group rates on lodging, travel, and meals. Such trips may include travel to various open water races, annual or semi-annual team travel to the Master’s Nationals Championships, and even some international team travel to meets. By traveling as a team, we greatly increase the FUN factor at such events. These events are organized in part by the Events Committee.

Sponsor Competitive Masters Swimming Meets: Each year, the Dallas Aquatic Masters host at least four swimming meets which are open to any registered USMS swimmer. These are also run with the help of the Events Committee. The four meets we host regularly are:

• Spring Short Course Yards meet held in February
• Summer Long Course Meters meet held in July
• Fall Short Course Meters meet held in November
• Christmas Relays meet held in December

Where to Swim in Other Cities: We do encourage our members to stay in swimming shape while out of town. Therefore, we provide lists of pools available and contacts when possible, in the towns where one may be traveling. If you are traveling out of town, contact the office at (214) 219-2300, and we will do our best to find a pool for you to swim at. This information is also available on the USMS web site www.USMS.org.

Special Swim Clinics: Stroke clinics will generally be offered in the fall, winter and spring months to provide opportunities for specific stroke improvement. Coaches will break strokes down to all components, including the kick, the pull, and the finish, as well as starts and turns.

One-on-One Personal Clinics: For those new to swimming, or those desiring work on specific aspects of their own training, the coaching staff of the Dallas Aquatic Masters offers this service for a fee. Training is arranged directly with the desired coach, and sessions generally run 30 to 60 minutes. These can be weekly sessions, once- every-so-often, or once-in-a-lifetime. You can call the office the schedule a session at (214) 219-2300.
