Returning swimmers register for the current season at the pool.
The Wayne Dolphins is a program that offers 4 sessions – fall, winter, spring and summer. The fall season runs from September to November, winter runs from mid-January to March, spring runs in May and June, and summer runs in June and July. Our fall season is a conditioning season where we typically have fewer meets, however we do compete against other area clubs in age group competitions with a championship during winter and summer sessions.
We’re always looking for new swimmers between the ages of 5-18 in Wayne-Westland and the surrounding areas. We have swimmers from Westland, Wayne, Garden City, Belleville, Romulus, Livonia and Canton and welcome swimmers from other nearby communities.
Even a beginner swimmer with limited experience can join.
If interested in joining the team, please come and tryout. We will be holding open tryouts the week of May 11th from 7:30 to 8:00 pm and by appointment after May 18th. The coaches will evaluate your swimmer. No need to sign up or fill out any paperwork.
Please be prepared to swim a few lengths of the pool, bring a suit, googles and a towel. There are locker rooms available to change in.
Once your swimmer successfully completes the tryout, we'll have you fill out paperwork, pay for the session, and instruct on which practice session should be attended - your swimmer can start practice the following day/practice. Payment is by cash or check.
