Hi everyone,

Unfortunately, due to illness, tonight’s Float to Live session will not be going ahead.

We will reschedule the session for next term and will let everyone know the new date once it has been arranged.

In the meantime, Coach Allan and the junior coaches will be running some fun swimming sessions tonight, so we look forward to seeing everyone at the pool as usual.

Thanks for your understanding, and we hope to see you all tonight for some fun in the pool!

💙🏊‍♀️ What a fantastic day for Dunbar Dolphins! 🏊‍♂️💙

A huge thank you to everyone who came along yesterday to support Dunbar Dolphins as we proudly collected the Stephen Bunyan Award at the Heart of Dunbar Festival. 🏆🎉

It was fantastic to see so many of our swimmers, families, supporters and friends there to celebrate this very special achievement with us.

A particular thank you to everyone who came along to support our amazing poolside team. Your support means so much, and it was wonderful to have such a great turnout cheering us on. 💙

This award is a recognition of the whole Dunbar Dolphins family – our swimmers, coaches, junior coaches, poolside helpers, committee, volunteers and all the families who support the club week after week.

We are incredibly proud to be part of the Dunbar community and grateful for everyone’s continued support.

Thinking of all our swimmers awaiting their exam results this morning.

We hope your hard work and dedication have paid off and you get the results you deserve.

Remember results don't define you

Your value isn’t defined by grades.

There are many different routes to success and not getting the results you hoped for doesn’t close the door on your future.

Your worth extends far beyond exam grades. There are always options whatever you achieve, and one set of results doesn't determine your entire future.

- [ ] Avoid comparing yourself to others
- [ ] Focus on your own journey and achievements rather than comparing your results to friends or peers on social media.
- [ ] Talk to someone you trust
- [ ] Share your feelings with family, friends, teachers, or contact Childline. Write down your worries - or share them with a trusted adult.
- [ ] Focus on what you can control
- [ ] If results aren't what you hoped, research alternative pathways, clearing options, or retake opportunities rather than dwelling on what's already done.
- [ ] Look after your wellbeing
- [ ] Make a list of the things that bring you joy and find time to do them. Eat well, get enough sleep, and do activities that help you relax.

If you need someone to chat to or support please remember that our Junior coaches and Coaching team are available to listen and offer support.

We are proud of you all.

Well done Team Scotland 💪🏊🥇🥈🥉

Well done Team Scotland 💪🏊🥇🥈🥉

Please take a moment to read through the information on the graphic and share in the success of our Team Scotland swimmers at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games

12 medals: 5 gold, 5 silver and 2 bronze.
51 finals
16 PBs
2 Games Records
11 National Records

Our swimmers absolutely deserve the recognition and applause; they stepped up when it mattered and gave us many a reason to celebrate over the course of six magnificent days of action.

But with these performances comes an army of support, and we would also like to celebrate those who have been there throughout their journey. Aside from the vocal supporters that were at Tollcross this past week, we want to recognise that first swimming teacher at learn to swim lessons, to the club coaches, the club volunteers, those who volunteer at events week in week out; our technical officials and volunteers supporting major events, and the performance coaches working alongside support staff who help make our swimmers the world class performers they are. And of course, at the beating heart, are the families and friends who have made it all happen and supported them through it all. It really does take a village.

We would also like to extend a wider thank you to everyone involved in our sport, including our partners, the leisure trusts, pool providers, Team Scotland Sportscotland, Scottish Disability Sport The National Lottery.

We are very proud, we are

At last Thursday’s Awards Evening, we were delighted to present a cheque to Stephen from Name'5 Doddie Foundation one of the two charities chosen to benefit from this year’s Sponsored Swim and Duathlon.

Unfortunately, Friends of Oaklands Edinburgh were unable to attend the evening, but we will ensure they receive their cheque.

Thanks to the determination, commitment and generosity of our swimmers, families, supporters and volunteers, an amazing £1,467 was raised and shared between these two fantastic causes.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who took part, donated, volunteered or supported the event. Your efforts have helped raise valuable funds for two charities that are very close to our hearts.

We are incredibly proud of every swimmer who took part.

🐬👏 Well done, Team Dolphins! 💙🏊‍♀️
