Hello Dolphin Families,

We hope you are doing well and are excited for the return of a longer swim season!  The Durham Dolphins are planning to offer an extended season in 2021 and hope to begin as early as March 15th.  Our current plan involves offering each swimmer three sessions per week (possibly Mon/Thu/Sat and Tue/Fri/Sat).  A full weekly schedule would return in June.  Coach Brian Clark will be sending an important survey soon, so please complete and return, so we can create a schedule that works for most families.  

Scheduling appropriate hours for your children's swim practices will be a challenge again this year.  Durham High School will be swimming from March through May and August through October, from 3-6pm.  Unfortunately, that leaves the Dolphins with a 6:30pm starting time, so we are asking all interested parents to attend the March 11, 2021 Durham Recreation and Park District Virtual Board Meeting at 5:30pm to voice support for sharing more suitable hours for our younger swimmers. 

Coaches Brian Clark, Zinnia Balken, and Jasmine Atencio are thrilled to be back for another season and we can't wait to see everyone on the pool deck!

Feel free to respond to this email with questions.
