HAVE FUN! SWIM FAST!

For over 50 years, the Pleasant Hill Dolfins have been having fun and swimming fast! We are a summer recreational swim team, competing in local meets. Daily practice includes instruction in all four competitive strokes, racing starts and turns. Fun events and activities throughout the swim season.

IN MEMORIUM

William Treadwell II (Bill Treadwell) 1956-2021

We lost a special Dolphin swimmer on January 27th. Bill Treadwell swam with the Dolphins in the late sixties and early seventies, before the team changed its name to Dolfins. He was an outstanding athlete and caring member of our swimming community. His coaches and peers appreciated his inspiring work ethic and the younger swimmers looked up to him as a role model. He held the 15-18 Boys Records in 1974 in the 50 Free (24.1), 100 Free (52.0), 200 Free (1:58.3), 100 Butterfly (1:00.2) and was on the Record 200 Medley Relay Team (1:49.4) and the 200 Free Relay (1:37.8). His whole family were an important part of the team. His dad volunteered as an official and his mom worked the desk. His sister Dana and brother Jay were also excellent swimmers.

Bill embodied the spirit of what it means to be a Dolfin: responsible, kind, and supportive. In honor of Bill, and to support future generations of swimmers, his family would like to set up a scholarship fund for deserving swimmers leaving for college.

2021 Season is On!

We wanted to share some information for the upcoming season.

A Note from the Head Coach

I am happy to announce that I will be returning as the Head Coach for the Dolfins this year! My position with the District has changed and I will only be coaching Dolfins, which will allow me to give 100% of my attention to the team. 2020 has been difficult on everyone but our kids are having a really hard time without their important activities. I want to be there to help bring back some "normal" to all of our Dolfin families.

If you have any program questions please contact Korey Riley or the District Office at (925) 682-0896. You can also text my cell phone if you have any questions for me.

Thanks,

Coach Talli

2021 Dolfins Season

Good news: The District is planning for a 2021 Dolfins season! While we don’t know when the current health restrictions will ease, we have become experts at pivoting over the last year and are planning alternate programs in the event health order restrictions prevent a ‘regular’ season. This includes options such as small group clinics, a shortened season and revising how meets are held (holding them later in the summer and splitting meets by age groups in order to reduce capacity). We have planned the meet schedule, but please be aware that this too may require changes. We will communicate changes as soon as we can.

Registration for the 2021 season opens on Monday, February 1 at 9:00 am. We are once again offering an optional payment plan. If you register in February, the payments are 1/3 at the time you register, 1/3 due on March 1 and 1/3 due on April 1. If you register in March, half is due at the time you register, with the second half due on April 1. If you use the payment plan, you must pay with a credit card, which will be auto-charged on the payment due dates.

New this year, we are requiring pre-registration for try-outs. Try-outs are free, but pre-registration will allow us to track attendance and for the waiver to be signed electronically ahead of time. Spring try-outs, for new 8 & Under swimmers and Mini Dolfins, will be held Friday, March 5 at 4:00 pm at PH Aquatic Park. Registration for try-outs opens on February 1 at 9:00 am, and you may register for programs before you attend try-outs.

Spring 2021 Programs

PH Aquatic Park will open for spring programs in March, and we are planning to hold Pre-Swim Team and Surf ‘N Turf Fit Club clinics in March, with Dolfins practice beginning April 12. We will also be offering lifeguard training starting in March. Registration for all of these programs, including the 2021 Dolfins Season, will open at 9:00 am on February 1.

In the event that you register for a program that is canceled or changed to comply with health orders, the District will provide a credit on your account to use towards other Rec & Park programs or a refund.

We are working to update our website with the program information, but in the meantime, you can browse the offerings in our online catalog. Again, registration for spring programs opens at 9:00 am on February 1.
