About Us
The Somerset Dolphins compete in Division G of 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 day in the morning (after June 20) and afternoon (after Memorial Day). There are competitive dual
Swim Meets every Saturday morning from mid June through July. We also have several
Wednesday Night B-Meets and one big relay carnival. 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, 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 swim team and should attend all the social events.
This Web Site and the Town
The team swims during the summer months of June and July. This web site is maintained frequently during the swimming season and occasionally at other times of the year.
The space for this site is provided by the Town of Somerset.
