wrapped up, it’s been a great year
for swimming clubs DSA and DSAS
with more than 10 swim Meets on the
calendar completed. One more Meet
remains for closing the year and overall
it has been a great year with new
champions at every Meet. Undoubtedly,
there a lot of sacrifices and motivation
provided that is usually unseen by many.
The large support system starting with
the parents, the DSA swim coaches
and all the staff who have been at the
forefront always to make these great
results happen.

Hats off to the team, thank you Team
DSA, One Team, One Dream and looking
forward to the year 2019.

The swimmers from DSAS swimming
club finished with a resounding runners-

With many of the swimmers hitting their

next Calendar year with the Age Group
Championships coming up in January.
Till then, Happy Holidays and Happy
New Year to all the swimmers, parents,
