South Davis Masters Swimming
This is the BIG one- our annual Summer party. Come with your family and eat and play. We will provide delicious hot dogs ( the good ones, not the gross cheap ones) and you can bring a salad or dessert to share. We will have both a kids and an adult treasure hunt this year. It will be AMAZING!

South Davis Masters brought a record number of swimmers to USMS Spring Nationals this year! We had 16 swimmers, 8 men and 8 women representing the Krusty Krabs in Mesa.
During this 4 day meet…
It’s time for our annual Valentine’s Day Intrasquad meet ! This is an opportunity to try out a meet without actually going to a meet! The meet starts at 6am with warm up and then meet start at 6:30. We should be done around 7:30 am! Please sign up on the spreadsheet linked below so that Coach Blair can have it ready to go Saturday morning!
As many of you have heard, our dear friend and fellow Masters swimmer Jason Coyle passed away at the pool during practice last Thursday evening due to a medical event. We are deeply saddened at his sudden passing and our hearts pour out to his wife Anita, who is also a Masters swimmer and to their 4 young children.
Jason was a life-long swimmer, an English teacher at Bountiful Jr High and a devoted friend. Many of our teammates have known and loved Jason for over 25 years. He always had a warm smile, a funny comment and a way to make everyone feel special. We all share a common grief and pain in the loss of such a great friend.
Please use the COMMENTS section below to share stories of Jason as well as photos. We are going to compile these into a book for Anita as well as anyone else who would like one.
Masters swimmers from across the state of utah came together to have another fantastic meet at our annual South Davis Masters Meet on November 10, 2018. This included 18 USMS teams!
We celebrated many first-time swimmers as well as some who who returned to racing after a long absence. Congratulations to those who have taken the plunge!
In addition to welcoming new swimmers joining us this year, we also added 19 new team records! Congratulations to Rachelle Woodbury, Sarah Jones, Kim Patterson, Jim Gutierrez, Matt Chamberlain, Joe Linford, Anna Marie Forrest, Scott White, Connie Larsen, and Christi Majors for setting new South Davis Masters team records!
First travel meet of 2019, Las Vegas Masters Meet is set for January 12, 2019! We are beginning to plan housing and carpools for the meet. We also hope to catch dinner and a show afterwards.
If interested, e-mail coach Blair!
Setting goals can help create a long-term vision and give purpose and meaning to your daily workouts.
Starting this month, we are beginning to set and track swimming goals as a team. We have created a group spreadsheet where swimmers can track and update goals and coaches can communicate and help swimmers with their goals.
Adding goals to the spreadsheet:
1. Duplicate an existing tab by right-click and select ‘duplicate’.
2. Rename the tab with your name.
3. Delete the existing goals and fill out the sheet with your own.
A SDM coach will follow up with you on your progress and give you some resources and comments to help you in your efforts.
It’s that time again! We are gearing up for the best-attended adult swim meet in Utah! It’s time for the South Davis Masters Swim Meet!
WHEN: Saturday, November 10th
General Session Warm-ups: 8am, Meet Starts at 9am
(If you are swimming the mile or 400IM- Warm up 6:30, Session Starts 7am.)
The meet is a packed-full of great swims and is over by lunchtime!
COST: $25 (Includes Shirt with entry!)
If you are not a member of USMS, then you will need to pay a One Time Event Fee of $15 (covers liability insurance).
ALSO- if you are signing up with a One Time Event Fee- you CANNOT swim in relays since you will be considered an “unattached” swimmer.
If you swim with a club and would like your swims to count for records, Top Ten USMS, or swim in relays- please consider registering for USMS.
Its time! The South Davis Masters Summer Party will be on Saturday, August 11 from 7-9pm! This is a change from previous years, so make a note- its a later start time.
In addition to the kids treasure hunt, we are also doing an adult treasure hunt with Swim Outlet gift cards and other swag!
Bring your families, kids, grandkids! It will be a blast!
