Competitive Youth Swim Team
The Flaherty Dolphins Swim Team is a diverse, coed competitive swim team for youth swimmers. This is swimming as a competitive sport. Many past students have gone on to participate in high school and college swim teams.
Along with intramural competitions with the City of Boston BCYF Swimming League, the Dolphins also compete with teams from the Metro Swim League, consisting of teams from different cities and towns inside the Rt. 495 highway belt. Participants in this program are expected to practice regularly with the team each week and participate in swim meets, which are held on Fridays (BCYF) and/or Saturdays (Metro League)..
The team may also participate in occasional special invitational swim meets which offer exposure to how other teams work, swim, and are organized.
The goal of this program is to improve swimmers’ competence and confidence in a competitive, team-oriented and fun environment. The focus is instructional; however, this is not “learn to swim” program. Prior to joining the team, everyone will be required to show proficiency in the water.
- Pre-season practice is: September - November
- Competitive Swim season is: November - March
- Championships for the Metro League, March
- Schedule published annually.
