NOTE FROM COACH TALLI Hello Dolfin Families! With the end of school and crazy weather, our practices were wild last week! When we move to the Ed Center pool it takes a little time for the younger swimmers to adjust because it is harder for them to hear the coaches because of the gutter system. It sounds like we are yelling at them but we need to be loud for them to hear us. The only time you will really hear us yell is if something is unsafe that could lead...

Dolfin Families (and your friends too!) please join us for Swim Team Night with the Oakland A's! The game is on Tuesday, June 18th at 7:05 p.m. vs. the Orioles. This is also a free parking night!

Cash or check (payable to PHD) can be turned into the district office or placed in the Cloward family file folder.  You do not want to miss this, it's so much fun so make your payment asap :)

DolfinFamilies, Battle of the Ages is only a month away! What is Battle of the Ages? Battle of the Ages is a swim invitational hosted by our team, where swimmers swim against competitors within 1 year of their age.  For example, 11 year olds swim against other 11 year olds rather than swimming against 11 and 12 year olds. On June 22 and June 23, over 1000 swimmers (16 teams) from across the county will fill the hallways and fields of Pleasant Hill Middle School. As hosts of this huge...

Hello Dolfin Families, TIME TRIALS Due to the lightning that is in the forecast during Time Trials tomorrow, we are canceling the meet and re-scheduling for June 2. This is not the way I wanted to start off this season but safety must come first and I think we will all be a lot happier if we swim on a nicer day. I'm hoping that this is the end of the crazy weather! Amy will set up a new Time Trial meet in Team Unify for June 2, so you will need to sign...

A NOTE FROM COACH TALLI Hello Dolfin Families, All Dolfin and Mini Dolfins will start practicing at the Ed Center pool this week. It's a very different pool so we like to get the swimmers in that pool to practice before Time Trials. The swimmers are doing amazing! I am trying new things with them and they are up for any challenge I give them.  It's an amazing group of kids! TIME TRIALS Please make sure to sign your swimmer in or out for Time Trials.

Hello Dolfins! Starters and Referees are essential to run a swim meet.  We need one starter and one referee on the pool deck for each home meet.    The job of the Starter is to give instructions to the swimmers and start the swimmers for each heat. They also call false starts if necessary The job of the Referee is to partner with the starter to get the swimmers prepared to start each race.  The referee is responsible for the pace of the meet. If this sounds like something that would interest you...
