SWIM TEAM INFORMATION The City of Dublin offers swim team programs to fit multiple schedules and goals. The Dublin Dolphins consists of three identical summer teams, which compete locally in the N.E.W. League and is suited for developmental swimmers of all ages. The Dublin Sea Dragons is a year-round USA Swimming team, which competes in the spring and summer around Ohio. Dublin Dolphins Summer Swim Teams More information is available at dublindolphins.com May 31- July 13 The Dublin Dolphins Swim Team is a recreational summer team that competes in the N.E.W. League, a local summer swim league. The Dolphin Teams practice in the mornings at either the North or South Community pools. Members of the team are required to have a Dublin Community Pool season pass and to be Dublin residents or school district residents. There are weekly competitions with other N.E.W. league teams on Wednesday nights. Swim team practices begin on the morning of May 31st. Practice & meet participation are highly encouraged for membership. Please contact Lynn Bowers at lynnbowers86@gmail.com if you have questions about practice or meet participation prior to registering. Advanced swimmers who train with outside swimming clubs still need to fulfill practice expectations in order to participate in competitions with the teams. Ability Requirements: The swim team is not a replacement for swim lessons and all new members must safely swim 25 yards of freestyle & backstroke during an evaluation. Swimmers joining as 9 yrs. and older must be able to swim 50 yards (2 lengths of the competition pool) freestyle without stopping and with proper breathing and able to swim 25 yards of backstroke. Swimmers competing as 8 yrs. and younger must be able to float comfortably on both front and back, and swim 25 yards freestyle and backstroke. Swimmers who have competed on year round programs do not need an evaluation, but need to contact Lynn Bowers at lynnbowers86@ gmail.com for an exemption. Required New Swimmer Evaluations New swimmers must attend a one-on-one evaluation at the DCRC lap pool. This determines eligibility for the team, not registration. Parents, please review the requirements listed above prior to bringing children for an evaluation. Swimmers who are unable to complete the requirements, are recommended to register for swim lessons or to return for another evaluation. Register for an evaluation today through the Dublin Dolphin website at dublindolphins.com. Evaluations will take place from 1-2:30 p.m. Saturday, April 23 and Sunday, April 24 for siblings of returning Dolphin swimmers and from 1-2:30 p.m. Saturday, April 30 and Sunday, May 1 for new swimmers at the DCRC. Completing an evaluation DOES NOT save your swimmer a spot in the Dolphins program.
