Pool
The Somerset Dolphins, supported by the Town, compete in the Montgomery County Swim League (MCSL). Our team is open to any Town of Somerset resident, 6-18 years of age, who can pass the deep-water test.
The team practices every weekday afternoon after Memorial Day and each morning after school is out. 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. There is a final Divisional Championship Meet between all of the six teams in our division. 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.
