Dear Dolphins,
The Copperfield Dolphins Swim Team Board is working year-round to ensure we have an excellent 2020 swim season. The following board members will serve our team this summer, and we are taking your survey input into account as we make plans for next summer. Please reach out with questions or suggestions- and keep an eye out for updates in the coming months! Also, spread the word to neighbors and friends about all the benefits of swim team: kids (and adults) meet new friends and experience a sense of neighborhood, develop new physical skills in a competitive sport within a friendly environment, and gain life skills of goal setting, grit, determination, etc. There are so many reasons to be a part of the fun!
