The Somerset Dolphins compete in the Montgomery County Swim League (MCSL). We are supported by our home town, the Town of Somerset in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Our team is open to any Town resident, 6-18 years of age who can pass the deep water test.
The team practices every weekday afternoon after Memorial Day and each morning after school is out. There are competitive dual Swim Meets every Saturday morning from mid June through July. The line-up that shows what events you are swimming will be posted on the Thursday before the meet.
We also have several Wednesday Night B-Meets and one big Relay Carnival. There is a final Divisional Championship Meet between all of the six teams in our division. At the end of the season we have a banquet with trophies, skits, and swimming. We also have weekly social events. The emphasis is on having fun, eating pizza, and developing each swimmer. We want this to be an enjoyable community activity, not an elite group of really fast swimmers.

The Minis
For children who cannot pass the deep-water test or do not want to be on the regular team, there is a developmental team, the Minis. Mini swimmers must be between 4 and 7 years old and be able to swim 15 yards. They practice three days a week. There is also one Mini meet. Mini swimmers are an important part of the team and should go to team functions and social events. Minis are coached by the older members of the swim team. The Minis represent the future of our team. Some of the older swimers on the team were once Minis.
