Team MVM was created in the late '80's and remained a relatively small masters program until Mo Chambers became head coach in the early '90's. Coach Mo expanded the program to over 300 registered members, moved it to the new pool at Eagle Park, and got people involved in swimming at the pool and open water competitions. Her efforts earned her US Masters Swimming Coach of the Year honors in 1995. Coach Mo retired from coaching MVM in 1998 when she gave birth to her twin sons. Coaches Suzanne Topp and Alan Liu, assistants under Mo, took over the program, sharing the head coaching duties until Coach Suzanne left to attend graduate school. Coach Alan ran the team until his tragic death April 2004. Team MVM continues with a great coaching staff and the Board of Directors, maintaining the same philosophy and structure that Coach Mo first brought to the program


The Mountain View Masters Swim and Social Club maintains an environment that strikes a healthy balance between fitness, fun, and competition. All levels of adult swimmers are welcome: from fitness swimmers to competitive pool and open water swimmers, first time triathletes to experienced ironpersons. The role of the coaching staff is to design a program that will allow all members to reach their individual goals. We believe that improving stroke technique and providing purposeful training sets are key elements to team and individual success. We also believe that having fun is just as important!
