The Boothbay Region YMCA's Family, Alumni and Friends Fun swim meet this past Saturday, March 29 was a blast. We had close to 50 swimmers ages 6-68 competing and having a good time.

The meet had everything; 19 current Dolphin swimmers, siblings, cousins, five hopefully future Dolphin swimmers, parents, grandparents, a wide array of Dolphin alumni and coaches. There were a lot of close family rivalry swims and quite a few fun family relays.

One of the relays had three generations of Strouts/Lorrains. Another relay featured Carrie Eason and her three fast swimmer daughters, Zoe, Mia and Callan. Charlie and Hattie Moss competed with their parents, Howie and Beth. There were also a lot of alumni relays and mixed family relays.

Thanks Don Strout for bringing in some team history and pictures to display. We appreciated seeing everyone at the pool and hope to see you back a the pool soon maybe to practice up for next year's meet.

The meet raised $400-plus for the Dolphin swim team which is the equivalent of 1 full scholarship and 2-3 team suits. Without our fundraising efforts we wouldn't be able to run the program.  If you are interested or know someone that might be interested in donating to the Boothbay Dolphin swim team I would be glad to chat with you/them. Also if anyone is interested in joining the swim team and has questions or would like more information, please feel free to ask.

Costs: $35 covers the cost of 1 boys team suit; $55 covers the cost of 1 girls team suit; $150 covers half the cost of a six-month full swim team need-based scholarship; and $300 covers the cost a six-month full swim team need-based scholarship.

The following Dolphins posted best times in various events at the meet: Piper Carleton, Evy Case, Noah Chamberlain, Catherine Clifford, Meghan Clifford, Callan Eason, Rafael Goldhirsh, Duncan Hardwick, Lucas Hardwick, Rowan Kristan, Jackson Lorrain and Maren Whitney.
