U.S. Masters Swimming Long Distance National Championship Award

Recipient:	Dave Holland
Year:	2024
LMSC:	Virginia

A long-time member of Virginia Masters, Dave organized and directed more than twenty open water swims. From 2005 through 2017 he was the event director for the annual Chris Green Lake cable swim, which served as the USMS National Cable Championship event three times during his term as director. His professionalism and experience were models for other open water event directors.

In 2013, and as requested by the chamber of commerce in Covington, VA, Dave helped establish a new Masters open water event, which became the Lake Moomaw 1-mile open water swim. He was still acting as event director when he received this award. A longtime member of the Virginia LMSC board, Dave also held the LMSC Chair and Long Distance Chair positions.
