In 1976 the Doncaster Metropolitan Amatuer Swimming Association SA (DMASA) established a swimming training scheme, later to become known as DARTES.
Doncaster DARTES are the town's Elite Swimming Training Scheme and traditionally one of the top 4 squads in Yorkshire Swimming. In association with Doncaster's swimming clubs, it provides the high performance training and top class, professional swim coaching required to succeed at the very highest level.
Our objective is to provide Doncaster's ambitious swimmers with the Environment, the Skills, and the Coaching Support required to reach the top in British Swimming.
Its purpose has always been to provide Doncaster's ambitious swimmers with:
- top class coaching
- training time to compete nationally
- a collective identity at swim meets
Individually, the DMASA's small village clubs couldn't hope to compete with top city clubs. Brought together as DARTES, these clubs can, and have, done just that.
