Nashville Dolphins

Please join us in welcoming Rekell, our new Operations Coordinator, to the Nashville Dolphins team! 💙🐬

With a background in nonprofit administration and communications, Rekell is passionate about supporting mission-driven work and strengthening connection within the community. We’re so happy to have her with us!

We are so proud to celebrate Caroline for receiving the Mary Catherine Schweiss Strobel Award at St. Cecilia Academy 💙

This award honors students who demonstrate an outstanding commitment to service in both school and the community, and Caroline is so deserving of this recognition. From volunteering with the Nashville Dolphins Swim Team to teaching tennis to children on the autism spectrum through Love Serving Autism, Caroline continues to make such a meaningful impact on those around her.

We are also incredibly grateful to the Strobel family for making a donation to Nashville Dolphins in honor of Caroline and her volunteer work with our organization.

We can’t wait to have Caroline back at the pool this summer! 🐬✨

Go Dolphins! We're so proud of all our athletes who competed at the Special Olympics Tennessee State Summer Games! 💙🐬

We’re celebrating Hailey and her incredible impact with the Nashville Dolphins 💙

Over the past three years, Hailey — our youngest Lead Instructor — has brought so much kindness, energy, and dedication to our swimmers, families, and team. She has made such a lasting impact on our programs both in and out of the water.

As she graduates from high school and heads off to college to pursue a degree in exercise science, we couldn’t be more proud of her and all she’s accomplished. Hailey, you will truly be missed, and you’ll always be part of the Dolphins family! 🐬

Congratulations to our swimmers who moved up in our programs this session! 🐬💙

We saw so much growth, confidence, and hard work from all of our athletes this semester, and we’re so excited to celebrate these swimmers on their next step:
✨ Kia moved from Little Phins to Future Dolphins
✨ Madaline and Jennings moved from Future Dolphins to Junior Dolphins
✨ Makhaela and Jameson moved up to Swim Team

We are so proud of each of you and can’t wait to see all you accomplish next! 👏

A special sendoff for Kenzie 💙

Our Little Phins class celebrated Kenzie’s last day as our Capstone Intern, and we are so grateful for the care, energy, and heart she has brought to our swimmers and families this semester.

Throughout her internship, Kenzie supported our Little Phins curriculum, created a water safety card resource, and spent countless hours building relationships with our swimmers both in and out of the pool.

She recently graduated from Belmont University, earning her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy. Congratulations to Dr. Kenzie Hendley, OTD — we are so proud of you!

(And lucky for us… she’ll still be spending the summer with us 🐬)
