The swim team is happy to announce the addition of the Lil' Dolphins Pre-Team to our program this summer. This will take the place of our Developmental Group, which we have used in previous years. Registration has just opened up for this program and space is limited, so sign up quickly.

The Lil’ Dolphins is the SBP Dolphins pre-team, where young children ages 3 and up can learn water safety and acquire the basic swimming skills that will prepare them to become full-fledged members of the swim team! The Lil’ Dolphins group is open to children ages 3 to 7. The children will work directly with Dolphins coaches, taking group lessons based on a curriculum designed to prepare them to compete with the team.

CLASS SIZE IS LIMITED, and the team reserves the right to close registration when we reach the maximum class size. Children must be:

• At least three years old as of May 31, 2021
• Willing to work directly with coaches without parent assistance*
• Residents of the Strathmore Bel Pre Community

Tuition is the same as team registration fees. Children who successfully complete the full program and who can demonstrate mastery of appropriate skills, including the ability to swim the entire length of the pool unaided, will transition from the Lil’ Dolphins to the Dolphins.

*Children who are unable or unwilling to work directly with a coach in a group setting may not be ready for the Lil’ Dolphins. The Dolphins coaching staff will evaluate each child’s readiness for the program. Refunds will be available on a case-by-case basis, as necessary.
