The Hong Kong Dolphins Swimming team is a registered society with the aim of promoting swimming. If you would like to be part of a swimming team, get really fit, feel great and take part in regular swimming meets and social events then join the Dolphins today.
Our Dolphins swim 1,000m to 5,000m each training session. Sessions last a minimum of one hour and run up to two hours. Training takes place in indoor heated pools in Mid Levels and at Jardines Lookout throughout the year.
Training sessions concentrate on fitness and strength, but we pride ourselves on never forgetting the importance of stroke improvement. We work very hard to ensure every swimmer in our squad has fast and efficient turns, starts and understands the importance of training.
The Dolphins consists of two different squads: <strong>Junior squad</strong> (ages 7 – 12) and <strong>Senior squad</strong> (ages 12 – 19).
Swimmers should already know how to swim all four strokes plus starts and turns well before having a trail to join the team. If swimmers are unsure they should first start in a Beginner 3/Improvers class to be assessed. During training there is much emphasis on drills and stroke correction to fine tune the ability of swimmers however the Dolphin’s team is not for teaching swimming. Remember only, “Perfect practice makes perfect”
Regular swimming meets are organised and swimmers that achieve division one times will be entered into ASA swimming competitions.
