  • 2019 Swim Season Information

    Mini Dolphins
    In order to enroll for the Mini Dolphins Swim Program in 2019, each participant must be 3.5 years old AND must be able to put their face in the water, leave the stairs/wall on their own. For those who do NOT meet this benchmark, they should sign up for private lessons with Coach Kyle, Coach Sean or Coach Matt. Lessons are available until November 2nd of 2018, and will start up again in March 2019 when Spring Clinics start. Please email the coaches direct to book lessons:

    Kyle Peterson – toachtyle@gmail.com
    Sean Malley – sean_malley@yahoo.com
    Matt Armanini – m_armanini@hotmail.com

    Swim Team
    Each age group programs will be headed by at least two senior coaches. The breakdown is as follows:

    Minis – Coach Kyle and Coach Matt
    6 & Unders – Coach Kyle and Coach Matt
    7-8’s – Coach Kyle and Coach Sean
    9-10’s – Coach Matt and Coach Sean
    11-12’s – Coach Matt and Coach Sean
    13 & Up – Coach Dave, Coach Matt and Coach Sean

    Similar to the Mini Dolphin program, lessons are available presently until fall swim ends on November 2, 2018, and will start up again in March 2019. Please email the coaches direct (at email addresses listed above) for availability.

    Junior Coaches
    Junior Coaches will have to attend a mandatory meeting in February, as well as complete mandatory training sessions in March in order to be cleared to coach. Additionally, those who satisfactorily completed all requirements to coach will continue to go through training as they coach Minis and 8&Under workouts. Again, no Junior Coach will be allowed to coach unless he/she has attended the February meeting, has completed ALL March training sessions, and has completed ALL paperwork. Paperwork will be given out at the February meeting and must be turned in by March 1, 2019 to the coaches’ office.

  • End of Season Hours / Pool Closing Date

    The pool hours for the remainder of the season will be as follows:

    Monday-Friday: 3:30 – 6:00pm
    Saturday: 12 :00 – 5:30pm
    Sunday: 12:00 – 4:30pm

    At the end of the day the pool covers go on (they either get put on by the swim team or the lifeguards). This keeps the pool warm overnight and saves thousands of dollars on the gas bill.

    The Pool closes to the general membership on Sunday, October 21. Swim lessons and Fall clinics continue through November 2.

  • Lifeguard Hours: Aug 6-21

    From August 6 to August 21, lifeguard hours will be from 10:00am to 7:00pm daily. Hours will be adjusted after the August 22 start of the school year.

  • Morning Masters/Adult Lap Swim

    Come down to the pool Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays for some early morning swim workouts. Everyone is pretty low key and you do not need to be a competitive swimmer—most participants wear swim fins for the entire workout to improve stroke and swim techniques.  Printed workouts are available. There is no cost for attending. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Link Hirst at linkhirst@gmail.com.

    Tuesday & Thursday: 5:45am–6:45am

    Saturday:  Now-May 6:30am–7:30am / June on: 6:00am–7:00am
