Special thanks to Gran for all her hard work with the sponsorships we received.

Congratulations to Charlotte Betley for placing in STATES FINALS, and 2007 Championships. Also great job to Jamie Moody, Ron Wilson, and Kelvin Lesene for time trials.

The Dolphins are recruting kids 6-18 years old who love swimming (can swim 1 length of pool unattended), than if you can, the Dolphins want you!

To join the Dolphins swim team your family must be a member of the pool. Swim meets are held on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings, from June until July 15th. See the Swim Team Letter for more details, or contact one of our staff members.

Daily practices will be at Glasgow Pines pool each day after Memorial Day during school, and in the morning when school is out. Of course if the coach decides to have evening practices, sheor he will inform you. You will practice with other swimmers of your age group and/or ability..

Parents of swimmers are required to volunteer at the meets (amount of meets depends on growth), performing such jobs as timers, place judging, scorers, snack shack attendant, and many others.
