Dolphins Swim Club

The Norman Park State School & District Swimming Club (also known as The Dolphins) is a sub-committee of the NPSS P&C Association. It offers a fantastic opportunity for children to learn and improve their swimming skills in a fun, non-competitive environment. 

  • New participants and their families are always welcome. 

  • We value good sportsmanship in a family-friendly setting. 

  • Our focus is on personal achievement and trying your best. 


Club times and information

The Dolphins Swim Club meets every Friday night at the school pool from Term 4 in October through to the end of Term 1, excluding the Christmas school holidays. Club nights run from 5:30pm for a 6pm start, concluding around 7:30pm. A BBQ dinner is offered each night. 

  • The season spans Term 4 and Term 1 (excluding school holidays). 

  • Races for all ages and abilities are held every Friday night from 6pm to 7:30pm. 

  • Skip cooking and enjoy a tasty, affordable BBQ every Friday evening. 

  • Additional carnivals with other clubs take place on select Saturdays or Sundays. 

  • Registration fees start at $70 for a half season (one term) or $100 for a full season (two terms). 

  • Club swimwear is not compulsory, but encouraged and available for purchase ($40) when registering. 


Skill level and competition

Children don’t need to be skilled swimmers to enjoy the benefits of our Swimming Club. Swimmers of all abilities participate in time trials, aiming to improve their personal bests. Times are recorded, and improvement points are given for each swim. At the end of the season, these points are tallied, and the swimmer with the highest total is crowned Club Champion. 

For younger children, there is a 'half-pool' race that is not timed, where each child is paired with a senior swimmer for assistance, making it accessible even for beginners. 

For more information, please contact us at npssdsc@gmail.com, and a team member will get in touch with you.
