Recreation Club at CGBD

 Dolphin Rec. Program

The Dolphin Rec. Club is a session-based swim team designed for swimmers who are ready to move beyond lessons and continue developing their skills in a positive, team-oriented environment—without the full-time commitment of our competitive program.

This program serves as a natural next step for swimmers graduating from Dolphin Swim lessons, helping bridge the gap between instructional classes and our year-round competitive team.

Program Highlights:

• Session-Based Structure: Flexible seasonal sessions throughout the year with no long-term commitment
• Skill Development Focus: Continued emphasis on stroke technique, endurance, and overall water confidence
• Team Environment: Swimmers train in a group setting while learning practice structure, lane etiquette, and teamwork
• Balanced Approach: Less intensive than our competitive team, allowing swimmers to participate in other activities
• Optional Competition Opportunities: Low-pressure swim meet experiences will be offered a few times a year

Progression Pathway:

• Dolphin Swim Lessons → CGBD Recreation Club
  Swimmers build foundational skills in lessons, apply and strengthen them in a team setting within the Recreation Club, and can (not required) progress to the competitive team when ready for a higher level of training and commitment.

Who It’s For:

• Swimmers who have completed Dolphin Swim lessons and are comfortable in all freestyle and backstroke and have an understanding of breaststroke and butterfly
• Families looking for a flexible alternative to year-round competitive swimming
• Athletes who want to improve skills, build endurance, and experience team training in a supportive environment

The CGBD Dolphin Rec. Club provides a strong developmental foundation while keeping the experience fun, flexible, and engaging—setting swimmers up for long-term success in the sport.

Registration opens July 1st for the 2026-2027 Season.
