About
The Yellow Springs Aquatic Club (Sea Dogs) swim team has been the youth summer recreational swim team in Yellow Springs since 1991. We are one of five teams that comprise the Miami Valley Swimming Association. The other teams are the Clinton County Barracudas (Wilmington), Forest Ridge Fighting Fish (Dayton), Greene Valley Gators (Beavercreek) and Oakwood Dolphins (Oakwood). The Sea Dogs swim in dual meets (against one opposing team at a time) at home and away and in the league championships at the end of the season. Our home meets are held at the Gaunt Park Pool in Yellow Springs. Directions to away meets are available at the Yellow Springs Aquatic Club website ysacseadogs.swimtopia.com. Car-pooling is encouraged. Meets are scheduled on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from mid-June through late July. Most meets start at 6:00 PM. Warm-ups are at 5:00 PM for home meets and 5:30 PM for away meets. Away meets with the Oakwood Dolphins start at 5:30 PM with warm-ups at 5:00 PM. League championships are to be held Tuesday and Thursday evening 16 and 18 July at a site TBA with events for swimmers 10 and under on Tuesday and 11 and up on Thursday. In addition, the Sea Dogs have a Family Swim & Pizza Party after one of the home meets, participate in the Yellow Springs Independence Day Parade and hold an Awards Night Potluck & Fun Swim on the Tuesday after league championships. Participants pay a fee for the summer covering supplies needed for practices and meets, the cost of membership in the league, fees for championships and stipends for the coaching staff. The Sea Dogs also obtain revenue from the Street Fair Parking Fundraisers and other fundraising events. The team relies on the volunteer work and dedication of families and community members.
