Our Swimmers and Coaches

Our Swimmers at Championships #1

Long Course was a success! Delmar Dolfins finished 3rd at the AD Championships just two weeks ago and Dolfins closed the Long Course season with the bang!!! We got a few age group High Point Award winners again this season as follows: Katie Ferreira, Ava Carsillo, and Cadance Releya – these girls rocked it in the pool! Many of our kids swum their personal bests at this meet and throughout the season and we all had fun basking in the sun and watching some awesome swims.

Several of our senior swimmers: Megan Novak and Sydney Sorbello went on to Futures Swim meet at Geneva Ohio this past weekend while few others (Stella Trickett, Brendan Cartwright, John Janeski and Benjamin Brkanovic) competed at the Senior Zones in Buffalo NY .

So on behalf of our Board of Directors, I would like to thank you to all our parents, coaches and swimmers for yet another amazing swim season, your ongoing support to our team and your ever growing love for the sport of swimming. We, the Delmar Dolfin’s, would not be who we are without you and your support and dedications. Now it is time for well- deserved Summer vacations fun in the sun!

SHORT COURSE UPDATE:

Before we all know it school will be back on and we will be back at the Pool.

Short Course Registration is open! To register please click on a big REGISTER NOW button on the website.

1st day of Short Course practice is 9/9/19 but please keep checking the calendar on our website for the pool location and time as we will be swimming in several pools this season, including: Albany Academy, Bethlehem High and Middle schools.

All Parents meeting will be held at the BCHS on either September 19th or 20th during practice – firm date will be confirmed soon and posted on the website calendar.

We will be hosting two meets during the Short Course season:

• Fall Challenge at the Ravena HS Pool – Tentative date is 10/12/19 – DATE IS NOT CONFIRMED
• February Freeze at the RPI – Tentative date is 2/1-2/20 – DATE IS NOT CONFIRMED

Summer picnic has been postponed due to weather couple of times this Summer, bummer ☹. We are hoping to have new date settled on very soon and announced for some time in late August / early September and just in time for the Short Course Season.

For the end:
p=. Wins and losses come a dime a dozen. But effort, nobody can judge effort. Because effort is between you and you. Effort ain’t got nothing to do with nobody else. (Ray Lewis)

Hurry up and reserve your space in the pool by registering early!

Practices are starting on September 9th, 2019
