Requirements to Join
To join the Laurelwood Dolphins Swim Team:
1. A swimmer must be 18 years old or younger as of May 31.
2. A parent or guardian must be a current member of the Laurelwood Cabana Club.
3. A parent or guardian must commit to volunteer jobs (found in the Family Obligations page) during registration.
Parent volunteers are crucial for swim meets and building a fun swim team community.
To participate on the Dolphins Swim Team and to compete in swim meets, all swimmers must be able to follow instructions and swim the length of the pool (25 yards) unassisted, without stopping and with side breathing.
Exception: Swimmers 6 and under who can follow instructions and who can swim 3/4 of the length of the pool with side breathing will have until the practice meet to complete the swim ability prerequisite; a full refund of the registration fee will be issued until May 6th, to any swimmer unable to continue on the swim team (and the swimmer will be encouraged to take swim lessons, attend summer swim camps and try out for the team again).
Exception: In accordance with JSSL, a swimmer whose 19th birthday is prior to June 1 of his/her senior year of high school is eligible to swim in the 15-18 age group the summer that immediately follows their senior year of high school. This allows athletes with such a birthday to compete the summer after their senior year with their peers.
Laurelwood Cabana Club membership is required in order to join the Dolphins Swim Team. Learn more about Club membership benefits and information how to Become a Member at laurelwoodcabanaclub.com.
