Dolfin Swim School
Celebrating 40 years!
Why Dolfin
Safety First is our mantra and our #1 priority!
We teach or review a safety skill every class because in Texas your swimmers needs to be proficient to perform all these safety skills:
- Knowledge of when and where they can swim with ADULT SUPERVISION!
- Fall into water and get back to the wall or to a place of safety
- Rollover and float independently
- Safe water entries and exits
- Reaching and throwing assists
Drowning is the leading cause of injury related death in Texas for children under 5 yrs. old. For every drowning, many more are left with permanent brain damage.
While taking swimming lessons is not a substitute for proper supervision and pool barriers, being able to swim well provides an extra layer of protection.
Dolfin Swim School is a family owned and family oriented company with that personal touch our families have come to know and appreciate!
The heart of our swim school is our fabulous staff. They set us apart from the rest! Dolfin Swim School hires only the cream of the crop! All Instructors go through a rigorous training in the Dolfin way that includes team teaching with a Master Instructor for a whole semester. Only then will they be fully prepared to teach a class on their own. Some of the adjectives that describe each of our staff members in the rave reviews that we receive from our committed Dolfin families are: Integrity, passionate, enthusiastic, encouraging, upbeat, FUN, creative, and oh so loving and patient.
Dolfin Swim School teaches the foundations for superb stroke mechanics in our entry level classes. Later, as we teach the strokes, we teach them technically correct the FIRST time. We avoid having to break bad habits that our swimmers will have to relearn later in order to perform the strokes properly. Our championship swim team, who competes in the Dallas Aquatic Swimming Association league (DASA), validates that our stroke mechanics are exceptional. The Dallas Dolfins Swim Team has won the Division Championship five times thus far and we expect many more to come! Go Dolfins!
Dallas Dolfins cheer:
See our tail
See our fin
We’re the Dallas Dolfins
See us WIN!
Dolfin Swim School is the ONLY swim school in Dallas with a competitive swim team!
It is a team effort at Dolfin Swim School. We believe that our parents are an integral part of the learning process. Our Instructors teach the skills during class. After class the Instructor will speak to each parent about what skills their swimmers needs to practice at night before returning to class next week. We even hand out homework sheets for each Dolfin level. The parents have the opportunity to reinforce the new skills at home. Their swimmers will learn the skills faster as we work together as a team.
Dolfin Swim School has a successful reward system to acknowledge our swimmers’ achievements. Our swimmers love:
- Immediate verbal praises, high 5’s, splash 10’s, and hugs!
- Dolfin treats of varying types of candy in our yellow bucket
- 27 colorful ribbons for mastery of different challenging skills
- Ribbon booklet which allows them to preserve all their awarded ribbons
- Dive rocks which the Instructors personalize for each swimmer during the summer
- Pirate’s Treasure Chest
