MISSION STATEMENT

The Lexington Dolphins are dedicated to fostering and encouraging amateur swimming, with a strong commitment to the well-being and protection of young swimmers. Our mission extends beyond the realm of competitive swimming as we actively promote a safe and nurturing environment for children to develop their aquatic skills. In addition to participating in swimming competitions that contribute to the growth of young athletes, the Lexington Dolphins prioritize child protection, ensuring a secure and inclusive space for all swimmers. We are steadfast in our commitment to welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds, regardless of income, sex, race, color, religion, or national origin, and strive to create a supportive community that prioritizes the safety and holistic development of every child involved in our program.

TEAM PHILOSOPHY
The Lexington Dolphins are a cohesive team where coaches see each child as an individual with different goals and abilities. Our swim program will challenge, encourage, and equip team members for continual improvement in skills, character and competition. Emphasis is placed on building a team among swimmers, coaches, and parents in a supportive, enthusiastic atmosphere. Swimmers will improve their skills, teamwork ability, sportsmanship, and respect others within a competitive atmosphere led by a dedicated, highly competent coaching staff.
