Meet Your New Head Coach!
I’m Coach Janelle, and I’m beyond excited to be stepping into the head coach role this season! I’ve been a Dolphin since 2002 and coaching as one since 2014; This team truly feels like family. I can’t wait to kick off a summer full of swimming, teamwork, and tons of fun with all of you.

What’s Coming Up:

• All our meets are now live on the calendar - go ahead and start planning!
• City Meet will be July 11-12 this year.
• We’re launching our very first Coach Rob’s Pancake Practice on Saturday, July 5 - Coach Rob is coming back for one special morning of games and breakfast-y goodness! More details to come.
• Come hang with us on May 10 from 10am-noon at the pool for a Meet & Greet with the coaches! Say hi, grab a sweet treat, and get ready for the season ahead. While we wont be swimming, this is a great chance to bring us any questions you may have about the swim team!
