Nashville Dolphins The Nashville Dolphins is an aquatics program for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Programs are free to all thanks to community support!

It is the Nashville Dolphins' mission to combat the alarming statistics of drowning deaths in children and adults with special needs. We provide FREE, lifelong, water safety and comprehensive adaptive aquatic programming for the special needs' community. Our participants are empowered to experience the joy and pride of being a lifetime member of the Nashville Dolphins team at no cost. We strive to enhance the quality and safety of the daily lives for both our participants and their family members by delivering comprehensive adaptive aquatic programs within a safe and socially supportive community environment. The Dolphins welcomes volunteers (in and out of the water) at any of our swim practices, classes, or social activities. No experience is necessary, just a kind heart and a willingness to learn. Volunteering with our swimmers will be one of the most rewarding, fun experiences you've ever done.

Pam and Brenda recently had the opportunity to connect with students at the Vanderbilt University and Belmont University volunteer fairs, sharing more about Nashville Dolphins and the many ways to get involved with our mission! 🐬💙

Our volunteers are such an important part of what makes our programs possible, and we're always looking for more helping hands! Whether you're a college student looking to give back or a community member wanting to make a difference, we'd love to have you join our Dolphins family.

With a waitlist of over 380 individuals with disabilities, we dream of one day building a pool of our own 💙

A space like this would allow us to serve more families, welcome more swimmers, and continue our mission of reducing drownings in the disability community.

With your support, we can reach more swimmers and save more lives! Donate now at the link in our bio.
