Bannockburn Dolphins Families -

What a fantastic Back to Pool event! The energy was awesome, the new bathhouse looks incredible, and it was so great seeing everyone back together for another summer at the 🔥Burn. Huge thanks to all the volunteers and coaches who helped make the day such a success.

Team Suits

Still need a suit? Head over to Sport Fair Arlington:https://www.sportfairusa.com

The Bannockburn team suit is the SAME suit as last year, so returning swimmers can absolutely use last season’s suit if it still fits!

Swim Team Practice Starts TOMORROW!

Please check the website for the full weekly practice schedule.

And remember - no stress if you can’t make every practice. We completely understand the chaos of end-of-school-year schedules, graduations, projects, concerts, finals, and general May madness. Just come when you can!
