Hello Dolphins Families,

What a way to wrap up our 50th year as Durham Dolphins!

NVALS was one to celebrate. Our team brought home the win, so many swimmers bested their times, and memories were made that will last a lifetime. This season was already special as our 50th year, and it was made even more meaningful with Coach Brian celebrating his 50th year at NVALS!!  The team went all out celebrating Coach B's 50th anniversary with lots of giggles, Brianisms, and plenty of gold. Check out the highlights on our FB page: Durham Dolphins Facebook page

We are so proud of our swimmers, coaches, volunteers, and families. Thank you for the time and support you put into championships.
