Plan to be a part of one of the oldest and most successful recreational swim and dive teams in Johnson County. The Merriam Dolphins need you! The Dolphins program is cooperatively sponsored by the City of Merriam and the Dolphins parents organization. The Dolphins compete in the Johnson County Municipal Swim and Dive League.

Team goals emphasize fun, teamwork, community involvement, responsibility, exercise, skill development, and skill improvement. We are a family-oriented team and parents are encouraged to volunteer to assist with meets, parties and other duties.

The Dolphins practice Monday-Friday mornings, and compete at local meets held weekly throughout June and July. Pre-competitive and competitive level swimmers are welcome.  Swimmers must be able to swim at least 25 meters (width of the lap lane).  Merriam residency is not required to participate.
