Volunteering -*IMPORTANT*, Instead of offering a volunteer buy-out option, the decision was made to charge families $300 who did not complete the required 6 points by the end of the season. We have more than enough opportunities for each family to meet the 6 point requirement. We hope this encourages all families to get involved and support the Dolphins this year.

Volunteer Registration -Please navigate to 'Volunteer Sign-Up' to sign-up for swim meet positions first so we can fill these required roles. To get insight into what volunteer roles entail, take a look through the volunteer definitions. Some roles require training, which you can find dates for on the Calendar. We have special events, meet events, and other practice events so that parent's have lots of opportunities to fulfill the 6-point/family requirement.Thanks to all who have an expressed interest in volunteering already. We are off to a great start!


Practice Equipment: Swimmers are expected to have swim suits and googles. Fins are highly recommended. Navigate to ‘Resources’ —> 'Equipment' section on the team website to see what Coach Robin recommends.

  • Practices:
    • DryLand Practices: DryLand practices begin 4/45. Dry land is a great opportunity for swimmers to get to know the Coach, to meet team members, and begin strength training. She asks that you wear your swim suit under your clothes, bring a water bottle, and a towel. If the water is warm enough swimmers will get in the water.
