Dear Dolfins, We are planning for fall programs at the pool and need your help. Please give us your feedback about fall programs by completing a brief survey. We need your response by Monday, July 20. Thank you, ~Korey

PHRec Aquatics CARES Dive into three weeks of fun at the pool with daily swim practice, water safety skills and lots of fun activities both in the pool and on the deck.

Hello Dolfins Families, I hope this message find you all well and staying active and healthy. The Dolfins Swim Team community has always been like a family or in marine terms, a pod. We lift each other up and inspire each other to “Have Fun! Swim Fast!” all summer long. It is because of this connection, that it makes this email that much more difficult to deliver, but here is it. Due to the most current Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) continued shelter-in-place health orders that still dramatically limits pool...

Hello Dolfin Families! These are crazy times! I wish I was writing to you with a start date for swimming but unfortunately the Contra Costa County Health Order & CDC guidelines are still not allowing pools to open until Phase 3. Phase 3 could be coming soon, but we just don't know right now. I know a lot of you have seen and signed petitions to open pools and it definitely feels good to try to do whatever we can to help get our lives back to normal, but all...

Hello Dolfin Families! I was so looking forward to the excitement and positive energy that comes when parents and swimmers reunite on the pool deck at the start of the season! Unfortunately, at this time we don't have any guidelines on when and how we are able to open our facilities and programs. I have been attending Zoom meetings with other coaches in Contra Costa County as well as getting communications from USA swimming and we are all in the same holding pattern. Since we are a public agency, our...

Hello Dolfins Families! I hope you are all doing OK sheltering at home with your families! Thank-you to all of you who are still going to work to help all of us! I am definitely missing the smell of chlorine and can't wait to get back into the pool for a swim! We are currently required to keep all Rec & Park programs closed, and with the shelter in place being extended to May 1, we will not be able to start practices on April 13. We will wait until...

Hello Dolfin Families! Hope this email finds you all healthy. This has been a trying time with our local schools closing and many spring sports delaying their start dates or cancelling seasons. We want to assure you all that the Dolfin Swim Team season will begin just as soon as we are given the okay from the district to resume all programs. In the meantime, stay well and we look very forward to seeing you all on the pool deck as soon as we can. Sincerely, Amy Ross PHD Parent...
