Membership in the Dolphins is open to any child or teenager who is a member of the Northwest Branch Pool, can swim safely for the length of the pool and meets age requirements. One of our record-breaking, star swimmers first floundered the length of the pool in a Wednesday night B Meet when he was four years old. The upper age limit for MCSL swimming is 18. We've also got a wonderful Pre-Team that helps the munchkins get ready for the Big Time. Our Head Coach, Jared Fribush, can help you determine where your youngster should start. Please feel free to drop him a line.
