About this organization
Mission
Aquatics programs for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
About
The Nashville Dolphin swim team provides year-round swim practices and competition to over 60 children and adults with intellectual disabilities at no cost to any participant. Swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards independently and take direction from a coach on deck to participate on the swim team. We offer practices four times a week in fall, winter, and spring and once a week during the summer months. Our swimmers are encouraged to attend practice as often as they like. The Dolphin swim team competes in Special Olympics locally, regionally, and nationally. Our swimmers take great pride in being part of a team like their siblings and peers. Once a year we take our swim team to an out of state swim meet, and this weekend trip is the highlight of the season for our swimmers. We pay all travel expenses. Opportunities for adults with disabilities diminish after the age of 21, leaving many sedentary, lonely, and often overweight and unhealthy. We not only make available weekly aerobic exercise, we also provide many out of water socializing opportunities for our team members including parties, a week-long day camp, hiking trips, yoga, etc. We also encourage our swimmers to give back to the community, and as an example we volunteer with various nonprofits around Nashville.
