Hello Dolphins! As families head off to enjoy the rest of summer and reclaim your Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings, we wanted to send a reminder about the benefits of keeping your kids in the water during the off-season – at whatever frequency works for your family and most importantly, for your swimmer. Benefits of Post-Summer Swimming Keeping kids who love summer swim team in the water in the Fall, Winter, and Spring helps build their confidence and skill levels once the summer season rolls around.

With Town of Somerset’s well wishes boosting them, the ‘second-half-team’ came back from trailing by 12 points at the half to win the Division J Divisional Meet, beating out five other teams. It was the first time the Dolphins hosted a division meet at the Somerset pool in the nearly 50-year history of the Town’s swim team. It was a nailbiter, as the Dolphins clawed up the scoreboard in their second-half swims to push into first place, winning by barely five points. The Mighty Dolphins, from 8 to 18 year...

The ‘second-half-team’ fought hard to somehow close a 32 point deficit at half time, battling injuries, illness and nasty wet conditions, but struggled to close the gap. The Might Dolphins swam their hearts out and never gave up! As always, there were amazing swims by Somerset athletes of all ages and the youngest swimmers held their own. Dolphins honored two seniors, Nini and Joey Panner, and somehow broke yet another team record! The final score was 413.5 Rock Creek Fins to 373.5 Somerset Dolphins. The coaches gave on-deck recognition to...
