Dolphin Swim Club

Starting in 2025, the Dolphin Swim Club meets at 10:00 am on the second Tuesday of every month.

This Health and Wellbeing Program for Senior Pride is a support, resource-sharing, and accountability group for swimmers and wanna-be swimmers.

We encourage our individual water-based exercise habits in the spirit of camaraderie, fun, health, and well-being. Swimming laps is very much an individual sport. The experience can range from the sublime to boring. Just staying in shape, increasing strength & resistance training, and aerobic fitness may all be part of your own plan. Math games and mindfulness with counting laps may also be your plan. This Dolphin Swim Club is intended to build on community support and accountability toward your personal goal for number of swims per year, whatever that goal may be.

You’ll be independently swimming in your pool of choice, but sharing collectively your progress towards your own goal. We’ll be meeting bi-monthly to share progress reports, facility tips, equipment shares and such. And we’ll plan our summer meeting as a social in a Pool!!

A few more details:

In the water, laps or walking, both count.

Length of your pool time is up to you.

Miles per year is up to you.

This is a January to January program.

You can join anytime.

Important: Collective accountability towards your own goal of # times in a pool /year matters!

Example: Jane Dolphin says they’ll swim 2 x weekly or 100 times/year. They get to the pool only 4x’s in January, none in February, 8 X’s in March.At second quarter SASP Dolphin Swim Club get together, they will have completed 12 swims or 18% of Jane’s goal. Time to get into paddling mode and increase that average as spring begins! Totally doable!

What this program is not:

A competitive swim team [other clubs in town offer this]

A physical therapy session [also available elsewhere]

A personal coach [you are your own boss of that].

What we are: Joyful swimmer people [you get the drill]. Sign up, paddle like a dolphin, and let’s swim!
