Swim Gear Swap — Monday & Tuesday
Our Swim Gear Swap will be held today, Monday, and Tuesday during practice.

Seasoned swim families are encouraged to donate gently used swim items they no longer need. Items may include practice suits, goggles, caps, fins, kickboards, parkas or warm-up gear, swim bags, and Durham Dolphins swag.

New swim families are encouraged to stop by and take what they need. No pressure, no cost — just Dolphins passing along the good stuff.

First Home Dual Meet — Wednesday
We have our first dual meet at our pool this Wednesday against the Oroville Orcas!

• Warm-ups: 5:30 PM
• Races begin: 6:00 PM

If your swimmer is competing, coaches will go over meet information with them this week. If your swimmer is not registered for the meet, they are still welcome to come cheer on their teammates during the races.
