History
The Dolphin Swim Club of Selkirk has been
in existence since 1979. It took a swimmer, a couple of parents,
a High School administrator, members of the community and the support
of the Winnipeg Dolphins to start the club. By 1981 the club was
able to support itself with qualified coaching staff, eager swimmers
and a strong executive.The club has attracted many coaches who have
also achieved high standards.
Since then the Selkirk
Dolphins have produced many strong swimmers and an exceptionally
strong competitive club within the small community of Selkirk. The
club has won many Small Club awards since their inception, including
ManSask Small Club, Overall Small Club(Manitoba and Saskatchewan)and
two Marvin MacDonald Awards. The Club has also been successful in
having swimmers qualified for various National level competitions.
Michelle Stamm is currently
the head coach of the Dolphins. She has been coaching with
the Selkirk Dolphins since 1996 gaining experience from the grassroots
up to the full time head coach position. Michelle was one of the
original members of the Selkirk Dolphins and a National level swimmer.
