1. WORDS FROM COACH MARK
A huge thank you to Maggie William-Delgard for opening her beautiful home to host our annual team holiday party! The food was amazing, the games were so much fun, and the laughter and good times made it truly special. We’re grateful for your generosity and hospitality, which made the celebration unforgettable!
Team Trip – Interested?
We’re gearing up for an exciting road trip, and we’d love to have a strong showing in Las Vegas for the SCM Swim Meet! Coach Mark will be there, and we’re hoping for a great turnout from the whole squad.
The meet doesn’t begin until 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, which makes this the perfect weekend getaway. Head up on Friday, enjoy a fun night in Vegas, race hard on Saturday, and cruise back home on Sunday. ¡Viva Las Vegas.
This meet offers the perfect blend of camaraderie, fitness, and spirited competition in one of the most energetic cities around. We hope you’ll join us on January 17, for an unforgettable team experience.

3. BOB ROLPH MEMORIAL NADADORES AWARD OF EXCELLENCE
Celebrating Excellence!
We were proud to honor Kate Schreiber and Val Trowbridge with the Bob Rolph Memorial Nadadores Award of Excellence at our Annual Team Holiday Party.
Kate joined Nadadores Masters in 2003 and has been a cornerstone of our community ever since. Known as our beloved “Team Mom,” Kate greets every new swimmer with warmth and encouragement, making everyone feel at home.
Her dedication goes far beyond the pool—Kate has volunteered at major events, including the 2005, 2013, 2019, and 2024 USMS Summer Nationals in Mission Viejo.
Kate’s kindness, enthusiasm, and commitment truly embody the spirit of Nadadores Masters. Thank you, Kate, for enriching our team culture and strengthening the bonds that make our community so special!
We’re proud to honor Val Trowbridge with the Bob Rolph Memorial Nadadores Award of Excellence!
Since joining Nadadores Masters in 2002, Val has been a true pillar of our community. His tireless volunteer work at swim meets and team events reflects the heart of our values—respect, teamwork, and service.
From helping make the 2005, 2013, and 2024 USMS Summer Nationals at Mission Viejo a success to supporting countless local events, Val’s dedication shines both in and out of the pool.
Thank you, Val, for your leadership and unwavering commitment. You’ve made a lasting impact on our team!
