Welcome to DASH!!

The D.A.S.H. swim team provides the opportunity for a child
not only to improve swimming skills, but also to develop
self-confidence and to improve muscle coordination and
body awareness. Swimming is one of the few sports accepted
as an all-around body conditioner that one can participate in
all of their life.


The goals of the club are to help each child improve his / her
swimming skills to a desired level and to develop parallel levels
of speed, endurance, and flexibility. In doing, so we will instill a
sense of pride and accomplishment. The emphasis is on
self-improvement rather than winning…everyone can improve,
but not everyone can win. However, receiving awards for your
performance is part of competitive swimming and this is made
easier through the nation wide system of classifying swimmers
according to their age and ability.


D.A.S.H. is a non-profit educational corporation, whose primary
focus is to provide a high quality, competitive swimming
program for the youth of Dubuque and surrounding areas.
We are a member of USA Swimming, which develops and
administers the National and Olympic programs. Our club
welcomes girls and boys from 5 years old and up.
