    • DFAC Families – We need your help!  The club has set a goal to raise $10,000 during the 2023-2024 Swim Season.  In order to accomplish this goal, we need everyone’s help to gain sponsorships and donations for our upcoming silent auction in October.  Our session fees only cover the cost to rent the pool and pay our coaches.  Our fundraising goes towards travel costs for coaches for meets, club registration, team shirts, club activities, etc.
      • The Silent Auction will open on Saturday, October 14th and end on Saturday, October 21st (home swim meet).  Please reach out to any connections you or your family might have with businesses, corporations, family, friends, etc. Anything helps support the club and keep our cost down for swimmers and families.   Any questions can be directed to Mandy [email protected]
