<br />Dana Vollmer -Grant, Assoc. AIA, WELL AP, CBSM
<br />AQUATICS PROGRAMMING SPECIALIST
<br />Dana is ELS' Aquatics Programming Specialist and an Associate. She brings a
<br />wealth of experience in aquatics as one of the most gold-medaled female USA
<br />Olympians of all time, with five Olympic gold medals. At ELS, Dana works with
<br />clients on design ideas to fit their specific athletic programming needs. For aquatic
<br />centers that will hold competitions, she draws on her past to work through swim
<br />meet diagrams that optimize deck space, pedestrian traffic, and usability while
<br />incorporating the lesser -known traits that make any facility a favorite for competitors
<br />of all calibers. As a mom, she also has user insight into many fun water pools, swim
<br />lesson facilities, and youth swim teams that she uses to help design facilities that
<br />can cover a wide programming spectrum.
<br />Dana's Olympic career began in 2004 at the Athens Olympics, where she won
<br />PROFESSIONAL
<br />gold as part of the world record -setting 4200-meter freestyle relay. In 2012 she
