Of course, I am off this term and too far away to come to support the swimming
and diving teams in person, so i send you this blitz.
 
I swam for Lakeland Hills YMCA from 1989 until 2000. I understand just how
important swimming can be to an individual. It played an enormous part in my
life. I chose to not swim for Dartmouth, as I had lost the desire to compete.
Instead I swim a few times a week, lifeguard and teach swim lessons.
 
The swimming and diving program is of grave importance to those involved and
the whole student body as a whole.
 
I hope that the program can be saved.
 
Sincerely,
Erik Dambach '04
