The Parks and Recreation Department sponsors the competitive Manhattan Beach Dolphins Swim Team for youth ages 6 through 17 during our Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall aquatics programs. Swimmers are coached with a style appropriate to their age and ability level. Swimmers will have the opportunity to make new friends, improve swimming skills, increase endurance and strength and develop friendships and team spirit. Swimmers may attend as many or as few swim practices as they wish.  Swim meets are held with neighboring cities throughout each season and a schedule of the meets is given to each swimmer or you may view the Swim Team Calendar for upcoming events. 

Want to join the MB Dolphins Swim Team?
The City of Manhattan Beach is now offering a preparation class for the MB Dolphins Swim Team. Swimmers, ages 9 to 17 years, must be able to swim 50 yards freestyle and 50 yards backstroke without stopping and have some knowledge of breaststroke. Swimmers, ages 6 to 8 years, must be able to swim 25 yards freestyle and 25 yards backstroke without stopping. This class is designed to work on endurance and stroke technique and most importantly to prepare swimmers for the MB Dolphins Swim Team. Enrollment in the Pre-Swim Team class is a prerequisite for joining the Dolphins Swim Team but does not guarantee a spot on the team.

The swim team coaches will organize and prioritize the swimmers according to times, stroke proficiency and participation and, according to the available spots on the team, will make the determination of who will move on to the team and who should continue with Pre-Swim Team class. It is our goal to include every child who has a wish to participate.
