The Hampton Dolphin Swim Team, like all USA Swim clubs, is run entirely by volunteers, with the exception of coaches who are paid staff. Parents are strongly encouraged to volunteer, and there are myriad opportunities for parents to lend their time, talents, and abilities to the club.

No swimmer will be entered in a meet if the family’s account is not current.
