Swim Team

Welcome

The FSBC Dolphins are looking forward to another season of fun in and out of the water!  Our team boasts over 300 participants with the areas largest mini program.  Our Dolphins learn to swim and or hone their skills while developing lasting friendships with their team mates and coaches.  

Swim Team Practice

Swim Team practice for the summer swim season begins May 31st.  Member swimmers between the ages of 4 and 18 are encouraged to swim on our team.  We embrace swimmers at all levels of readiness.

The Dolphins practice in the afternoons, at the end of the school day, following the Memorial Day holiday.  At the conclusion of the academic calendar, we have morning and afternoon practices on Monday - Friday.  Team members may practice at either or both times.  Swimmers receive short and long course training in our 50-meter pool.  In addition, swimmers may find that practice includes time in our middle pool or the surrounding grounds depending on the individual needs of swimmers as determined by their coaches.    

Swim Meets

FSBC's Dolphins swim in the Jefferson Swim League (JSL), founded over thirty years ago.  There are 16 teams of varying levels apportioned into three tiers, which affords exciting and competitive swim meets!  

The Dolphins participate in weekly swim meets starting in June.  Meets are held on Wednesday evenings with exceptions for internal meets such as intra-squad and mini meets or unless otherwise determined by the JSL.  During the season Dolphins compete against teams from all over our community.  FSBC hosts 3 home meets.  

*Ribbons are given to swimmers after swim meets.

*Swim Meets are great fun, but are not mandatory!  At FSBC, Swim Team participants and their parents are able to have team, family and individual experiences that cross a wide spectrum.    

JSL Champs / Swim Team Season Concludes

The JSL season concludes with a championship meet at UVA's Aquatics Fitness Center.  Traditionally the championship meet is held on the last weekend in July (Friday and Saturday) after which FSBC hosts the Dolphins' party and awards ceremony where each swimmer will receive a trophy for having participated on the team. Plan on swimming, music, dancing and fun!

Social Events

FSBC's Dolphins have "fun in and out of the water."  After meets, swimmers and parents enjoy friendship and pizza.  The swim team has a calendar bursting with social events and activities.  For example, ice cream socials, dive-in movies, camping expeditions, lip-synchs, pep rallies, and more fill the evenings.  Keep an eye on the calendar for their delicious pancake breakfasts!
