Diving with Dolphins has been off to an amazing start! 💦

This new summer program gives Nashville Dolphins swim team members the opportunity to build confidence on the diving boards while learning new skills in a fun and supportive environment.

Over the past few weeks, our swimmers have been practicing everything from jumps to introductory dives while cheering one another on every step of the way.

We're excited to celebrate all of their hard work at our Diving with Dolphins Showcase at the end of the month! 🐬💙

It’s more than swim lessons 💙

It’s confidence. It’s belonging. It’s a place where every swimmer is seen for who they are. And a skill they’ll carry for life.

That’s what it means to be part of Nashville Dolphins. 🐬

We’re so proud of our Nashville Dolphins Swim Team for competing in the Special Olympics Tennessee State Games Swim Meet! 🐬💙

20 athletes represented the Dolphins at State Games this year, and we couldn’t be prouder. We loved getting to celebrate not only their accomplishments in the pool, but also the confidence, joy, and community that make this team so special.

Huge thank you to our amazing volunteers — Pam, Jenny, Laura, Ian, and John — for helping make the weekend possible. Go Dolphins! 🏊✨

We’re so honored to have been selected as a recipient of the 2026 Helper Grant from the Nashville Predators Foundation! 💛💙

This year, the Foundation is awarding more than $855,000 to organizations making an impact across Nashville and Middle Tennessee, and we’re incredibly grateful to be included alongside so many amazing nonprofits doing meaningful work in our community.

Support from this grant will help provide opportunities for our swim team athletes to compete in several intrasquad meets throughout the remainder of 2026 — creating more chances for growth, confidence-building, teamwork, and unforgettable memories in the pool.

Thank you to the Nashville Predators Foundation for helping us continue making waves in the Nashville community. 🐬

We are so proud to celebrate Caroline for receiving the Mary Catherine Schweiss Strobel Award at St. Cecilia Academy 💙

This award honors students who demonstrate an outstanding commitment to service in both school and the community, and Caroline is so deserving of this recognition. From volunteering with the Nashville Dolphins Swim Team to teaching tennis to children on the autism spectrum through Love Serving Autism, Caroline continues to make such a meaningful impact on those around her.

We are also incredibly grateful to the Strobel family for making a donation to Nashville Dolphins in honor of Caroline and her volunteer work with our organization.

We can’t wait to have Caroline back at the pool this summer! 🐬✨

We’re celebrating Hailey and her incredible impact with the Nashville Dolphins 💙

Over the past three years, Hailey — our youngest Lead Instructor — has brought so much kindness, energy, and dedication to our swimmers, families, and team. She has made such a lasting impact on our programs both in and out of the water.

As she graduates from high school and heads off to college to pursue a degree in exercise science, we couldn’t be more proud of her and all she’s accomplished. Hailey, you will truly be missed, and you’ll always be part of the Dolphins family! 🐬
