Hi Dolphins - just a note to let everyone know that we have new coach in our program. Natasha Hai is a former Summerside Dolphin Swim Team member who has competed for PEI in two Canada Games and also qualified for Canadian Youth Champs. After graduating from the Dolphins she attended the University of New Brunswick where she starred as a 50 and 100 backstroker. She will be working with the T4 and Regional groups ( with me) on Wednesdays and assisting Jenn with the T1b's on Thursdays - please do not hesitate to say Hi to Hai and welcome her to our family.

Good Luck Dolphins!

Good luck to our Dolphins travelling to Quebec City tomorrow to compete at Laval. Our Dolphins are:
