Stott<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>With the merger of Davis Aquatics and Arden Hills into DART Swimming, Billy Doughty has helped the program grow by leaps and bounds, becoming a mainstay on the USA Swimming Club Excellence rankings.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Coach Doughty helped elevate DART Swimming to USA Swimming Gold Medal status in 2015; otherwise, the club has earned Silver Medal status since 2014. In 2018, he placed three DART athletes on the USA national team.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">CREDENTIALS<br \/>\n<\/span>\u2022 Head coach\/CEO, DART Swimming (Davis site), 2009-present<br \/>\n\u2022 Head site coach, Palo Alto Stanford Aquatics, 2001-06<br \/>\n\u2022 Head coach, City of Mobile Swim Association, 2006-09<br \/>\n\u2022 Head men\u2019s coach, USA World Junior Championships Team, 2019<br \/>\n\u2022 Head men\u2019s coach, USA National Junior Team for Mel Zajac Meet, 2018<br \/>\n\u2022 Assistant coach, USA Pan Pacific Junior Championships Team, 2018<br \/>\n\u2022 7x Sierra Nevada LSC Senior Coach of the Year<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Swimming World:<\/span><\/strong> Two programs with impressive histories combined&#8230; What spurred the Davis-Arden Hills merger?<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Billy Doughty:<\/span><\/strong> I took the head coaching job at Davis Aquadarts in 2009. It took a couple years to build the program into a team that was regularly producing swimmers attending junior nationals. Once we started to have swimmers consistently perform at that level, I thought it would be great to have relays and compete as a team at national-level meets. Davis is a town of around 50,000 residents, so we are never going to be a huge program.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Brian Nabeta at Arden Hills and I started to talk about combining our programs so we could do that. He is extremely easy to work with, and we have very similar goals for our swimmers, so the merger was easy for the most part. Brian\u2019s relationship with Arden Hills ended several years ago, and he moved his site to American River College. We are still together at this point.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">SW:<\/span><\/strong> What were the challenges in parceling out responsibilities and assembling a cohesive, united program?<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">BD:<\/span><\/strong> A merger is always a work in progress. Brian and I have learned each other\u2019s strengths and passions and worked on taking over appropriate portions of the program. It helps that I respect Brian, and I have definitely learned to trust that he always has the team\u2019s best interest at heart. People ask if Brian and I move on from DART, will the merger remain. I honestly don\u2019t know; the personal relationship and history between Brian and I hold things together at this point.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>To access the full Q&amp;A session with DART coach Billy Doughty,<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2020\/swimming-world-magazine-march-2020-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Check out the March issue of Swimming World Magazine- Available Now!<\/strong><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2020\/swimming-world-magazine-march-2020-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"419580\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-magazine-presents-louise-hansson-on-the-cover-of-march-2020-issue\/swimming-world-march-2020-cover-louise-hansson\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2020-Cover-Louise-Hansson.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1070\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Swimming World March 2020 Cover &#8211; Louise Hansson\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Swimming World March 2020 Cover &#8211; Louise Hansson&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2020-Cover-Louise-Hansson-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2020-Cover-Louise-Hansson-766x1024.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-419580 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2020-Cover-Louise-Hansson.jpg\" alt=\"Swimming World March 2020 Cover - Louise Hansson\" width=\"800\" height=\"1070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2020-Cover-Louise-Hansson.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2020-Cover-Louise-Hansson-766x1024.jpg 766w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2020-Cover-Louise-Hansson-150x201.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2020-Cover-Louise-Hansson-300x401.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2020-Cover-Louise-Hansson-450x602.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2020-Cover-Louise-Hansson-673x900.jpg 673w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2020-Cover-Louise-Hansson-374x500.jpg 374w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2020-Cover-Louise-Hansson-245x327.jpg 245w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2020-Cover-Louise-Hansson-533x713.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>[ PHOTO BY PETER H.
