The NorthWest Branch
Dolphins was one of the earliest teams in the fledgling Montgomery
County Swim League, the MCSL, after the league was first formed in
the early Sixties. NWB and the Dolphins have played a vital role in
the sport in the area ever since. You're now looking at the one of
the most recent incarnations of the team. And what a terrific group
it is. But this is also an organization with a rich tradition and a
grand heritage.
This page is the
launching pad to a fascinating journey in which you can learn
everything you could want about today's team and why you should be
in the swim if you're not already, plus you'll meet some of the
great names of Dolphins past. Just settle back and follow the links
(at the top and throughout) for a magical mystery
tour.
As the veterans in this
photo will attest, being on the team is great fun for swimmers of
all ages and abilities.
The Dolphins practice
daily throughout the summer, under the supervision of experienced
and accomplished coaches. Age-group meets are scheduled at both A
and B levels of competition, so every athlete gets to swim at the
appropriate levels of skill and experience.
In addition to meets and
practice, team members and their families participate in many
fun-filled activities throughout the summer. If you have any
questions, please drop an email to the Swim
Team Reps.
