Fun Friday Theme
Join us for Bubbly Day on Friday, June 2nd as we will be practicing making big bubble kicks in preparation for our first dual meet of the 2023 season! Swimmers will enjoy a fun practice, focusing on all stroke styles. At the end of practice enjoy a cool bubble surprise! Plus we’ll have on deck a poster-making activity that we’ll bring to our meet the next day.
Mighty Dolphins vs. Killer Whales - Away Meet
We’re competing on Saturday, June 3rd against our Port Streets sister (and rival!) pool, Newport Hills Killer Whales, at 1900 Port Carlow, Newport Beach. It will be a split meet with 9+ swimmers starting at 9am and 12pm for our 5/6 and 7/8 swimmers. More details to come on our regular Tuesday meet email.
Pollywogs Session 1
For the littlest members of the Mighty Dolphins, the Pollywogs program is perfect for kiddos aged 2.5 to 4.5 years old. Starting Monday, June 5th and ending Thursday, June 29th, these mini-mariners will dip their toes into the water, guided by a team of top-notch coaches who will help them grow more comfortable and water-safe throughout the month. To learn more about this swim clinic and to register in session 1 and session 2, swim on over to our Harbor View Swim Team's Pollywogs webpage. *Note: Level 1 of the first session is fully booked. Level 2 is still open and we will be accepting kids regardless of their swim level!*
Parent Party at Tableau
We can’t let the kids have all the fun! Please join us for an evening of music, food, wine and fun at Tableau Kitchen and Bar on Saturday, June 10th at 6pm to 9pm. The cost is $55 per ticket or $100 per couple. Please Venmo @KELLYPLAM (last four digits of phone number 1980) - Including Full Name AND Plate of Choice (Salmon, Chicken or Vegetarian)

Swim-a-Palooza Results
Our Mighty Dolphins are the BEST! Swim-A-Palooza was a BIG success; thank you everyone that attended and helped with the event. All our swimmers worked hard and did awesome both at swimming laps and fundraising.
Together as a team we raised over $13,000 between our fundraiser site, Silent Auction and raffle. That is amazing for our summer program and we plan to invest in technology and equipment for hosting home meets.
The top swimmers who raised the most funds in each age group earned a Swimapalooza towel and certificate for two at Sender One/City or American Ninja Warrior Gym.
- 5/6 - Callen Trainer
- 7/8 - Luke Tilley
- 9/10 (tie) - Hunter Conant and Isabella Avila
- 11+ - Freddie Damirchi
Congratulations and a big thank you to Michael “Mikey” Constantiner, who raised the most funds for our team overall. You won a Speedo Teamster Backpack, Swimapalooza towel, $50 gift card to Competitive Aquatic Supply (CAS) and $50 gift card to Crack Shack.
