Dolfins February 2020 News

Korey Riley
Hello Dolfin Families!
 
This year our season starts on April 13.  Register early to take advantage of our discount rates.  Rates increase on March 1 and again on April 1.  A payment plan is still available.  If you know anyone who is interested in joining Dolfins or Mini Dolfins, we have Try Outs at 10:00 am on March 14 at PH Aquatic Park.  I will be there to answer any questions.
 
We know that swimmers are busy with school and other activities in the spring.  We work on the same stroke every week, so even if swimmers make just 1 or 2 practices they will still benefit.

SPRING SWIM CLINICS
The next session of Spring Swim Clinics starts on 2/25.  Both age groups (6-8 years and 9-13 years) will swim 5:00-5:45 pm, and the clinics are meeting at PH Aquatic Park.  Spring Swim Clinics are a great way to get a head start on the season!
Register for Spring Swim Clinics here.
 
PRE-SWIM TEAM
If you have a new swimmer just starting Dolfins I highly recommend taking the Pre-Swim Team Clinic.  It’s a great way to connect with the coaches, learn important swim team skills and build confidence before the first day of practice.  Please pass this information on to any friends who are interested in joining the team as well.  Pre-Swim Team Clinics are offered for swimmers 4-13 years old and held at PH Aquatic Park.
3/16-4/1, M/W
4 & 5 year olds   4:00-4:30pm
6-8 year olds      4:30-5:15pm
9-13 year olds    5:15-6:00pm
Register for Pre-Swim Team here.
