We invite you to be part of South Snohomish
County Dolphins Swimming
South Snohomish County
Dolphins (SSCD) is a USA Swimming year round competitive
swim team offering high quality professional coaching and technique
instruction for all ages and abilities. The goal of our team is to
provide every member an opportunity to improve swimming skills and
achieve success at his or her level of ability, from novice to
international competitor.
SSCD is a non-profit club run by an
elected Board of Directors which meet monthly. All members are
welcome at each meeting (please contact a board member if you'd
like to attend a meeting) and encouraged to be involved in
team activities and fundraisers.
USA and PNS Swimming:
Every Dolphin swimmer must join the United States Swimming
Association and Pacific Northwest Swimming. These groups are
the governing bodies of the United States and our
local area. SSCD collects a registration fee which it forwarded to
USA Swimming and PNS and is included in your annual
registration fee. If you are transfering from another USA Swim
Club, you will be asked to fill out transfer paperwork and swim as
an "unattached" swimmer during meets for 120 days following
your last meet with your previous team.
Training fees are based
on the swimmer’s training group and cover coaching salaries
and pool rentals. These fees assume full participation by each
swimmer. While the team may take some time off in the
months of December & April, fees are not pro-rated in these
months. Inability to attend all scheduled workouts for any given
week does not relieve the swimmer of the obligation for full
monthly fees. The Dolphins typically take a 3 week training break
in the month of August (in between the Long Course and Short Course
seasons) and fees are, therefore, are not assessed in that
month.
To know which group is right for
your child, new swimmers should use information in
the
Training Group Descriptions to narrow down their choices.
Swimmers are always welcome to attend a practice/workout and see if
the group is the right fit. But, coaches will always make the
final group placement decisions.
Tryouts: Please Click
Here to arrange for a tryout to assess your child’s
swimming ability and placement in the program. If you are currently
a member of another USA Swimming team, we ask that you inform your
current coach of your intent to try out for
SSCD.
Pool Locations:
SSCD
trains at Kamiak High School and occasionally at Explorer Middle
School. These pools are a part of the Mukilteo School
District.
