This traditional DAM event has a new identity in recognition of its founder, Ross Yancher. Ross, the Davis Aquatic Masters head coach from 1981 to 1988, passed away late last year and the event was renamed in his memory.

Over the past eight years, nearly 1000 USMS members have competed in the event.

The Brute Squad event takes the three most difficult events in swimming -- the 200 butterfly, the 400 IM, and the 1650 freestyle -- and combines them into a single event!

 

Here's the event good kickers have been waiting for! Win a postal meet without even pulling. Just kick 400 yards! Any stroke is allowed and any length course will do. Kicking is great overall conditioning, contributes greatly to your speed in sprinting, and burns lots of calories. What's not to like? Team entries available. Hosted by Marcia's Enthusiastic Masters of Oakland (MEMO). Registration opens December 1st. Information and registration. 

 

To take care of needed repairs at their pool, The Olympic Club has cancelled their 1500 meter meet. Out-of-town swimmers, serious competitors, fair-weather meetgoers and first-time visitors to the oldest masters swim team club in the nation will be disappointed about this cancellation, however the meet will be held later in the year at the updated facility
