The NorthWest Branch Dolphins was one of the earliest teams in the fledgling Montgomery County Swim League, the MCSL, after the league was first formed in the early Sixties. NWB and the Dolphins have played a vital role in the sport in the area ever since. You're now looking at the one of the most recent incarnations of the team. And what a terrific group it is. But this is also an organization with a rich tradition and a grand heritage.
This page is the launching pad to a fascinating journey in which you can learn everything you could want about today's team and why you should be in the swim if you're not already, plus you'll meet some of the great names of Dolphins past. Just settle back and follow the links (at the top and throughout) for a magical mystery tour.
As the veterans in this photo will attest, being on the team is great fun for swimmers of all ages and abilities.

One little boy’s dream personified
in a photo from the mid-1990s
would come true -- as they can for
many with true grit and determination.
