The Countryside Country
Club Aquatics Dolphins swim team is designed to foster and enhance
swimming skills, competitive skills, physical fitness,
sportsmanship, team spirit, cooperation and most of all
FUN!!!
Kids, if you want to try the sport of swimming this
summer, it is time to sign up for the best team around! We
have been the starting point for many top-level swimmers. But
summer swimming is about fun and our team has the most fun!
Practice is offered 5 days a week, races are offered every week,
and victory parties after the championship events several times
each summer! And when it gets hot outside, swimming is the
coolest sport around!
Our summer swim season
runs from April through July. We participate in the Private
Club League (PCL) which involves dual meets during the months of
May and June, culminating with a Championship Meet in June; and the
Pinellas Aquatic League (PAL) with dual meets in June and July,
culminating with a Championship Meet. The leagues compete
under the rules of USA Swimming, America's largest program of
guided fitness activity for children. We have multi-year winning
streaks as league champions of both the PCL and PAL leagues.
Our team is open to kids from ages 5 to 18 that know how to
swim.
Swimming is a life-long
sport that develops strength, endurance and coordination.
Swimmers learn the values of hard work and goal setting.
These skills help swimmers to perform well in the classroom and in
life. Swimming is a good starting point to develop skills
that transfer to other sports too. And, Swimming is a sport
that can save your life.
The summer league is the
starting point for kids to try competitive swimming in a fun and
recreational setting. For those that want to go to the next
level, they can transition to year-round club swimming and
state-wide competitions. Many of the club swimmers that
started on the Dolphins summer team still return to help out with
the younger kids.
