About Kincumber Pacific Dolphins
The club’s philosophy is to foster and encourage the development of team spirit amongst children and parents through swimming and related activities.
There are 16 club nights during the swim season at which swimmers race in 3 events each club night.
Points are awarded to swimmers who improve on their own personal best time. Therefore each swimmer is rewarded for personal improvement rather than their place in a race.
This system allows every swimmer the potential to win the overall point-score competition regardless of ability.
Registered club members are also encouraged to compete in local meets involving swimmers from other clubs.
At these meets, swimmers work towards achieving qualifying times to compete at Representative Level.
The pathway to representing Australia is established from your child’s very first competitions.
Kincumber Pacific Dolphins has a strong representative team competing from local to international level.
Benefits of Kincumber Pacific Dolphins membership:
