GET INVOLVED

Become an Official

Every great swim meet depends on a dedicated team of volunteers working behind the scenes. Becoming a swimming official is a wonderful way to support our swimmers, learn more about the sport, and become part of the Summerside Dolphins community.

Whether you're a new swim parent or have been involved in the sport for years, there's a place for you on deck. No previous experience is needed, and training and support are available to help you get started.
