🎉 Congratulations to Coach McKenzie! 🎉
Coast Guard Blue Dolphins are proud to announce that Coach McKenzie has been selected to participate in USA Swimming's Women's Governance Leadership Program!

This prestigious national program is designed to develop and empower current and future female leaders within the sport of swimming. Participants engage in leadership development, governance education, mentorship opportunities, and collaborative learning experiences aimed at increasing female representation in decision-making roles throughout USA Swimming.

As part of the Women's Governance Leadership Program, Coach McKenzie will attend the 2026 USA Swimming Annual Business Meeting & Convention in Denver, Colorado this September with Coach Jihan. Coach Jihan will be attending in her role as Virginia Swimming's Diversity, Inclusion, Culture, and Equity (DICE) Chair and Disability Swimming Chair. The event brings together coaches, athletes, officials, board members, and swimming leaders from across the country to collaborate, learn, and help shape the future of our sport.

Coach McKenzie's selection is a testament to her leadership, dedication to athlete development, and commitment to growing the sport both on and off the pool deck. Throughout her time with CGBD, she has demonstrated a passion for mentoring athletes, building team culture, and creating opportunities for swimmers to succeed. We are excited to see the knowledge, relationships, and experiences she gains through this program and brings back to our athletes, coaches, and the Virginia Swimming community.

This recognition reflects not only Coach McKenzie's hard work and commitment to excellence, but also the growing impact that CGBD coaches are making at the local, zone, and national levels of our sport.

Please join us in congratulating Coach McKenzie on this well-deserved honor and wishing her success as she begins this exciting leadership journey! 👏🏊‍♀️💙

🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️ Good luck to all of our swimmers competing at the Virginia Commonwealth Games this Thursday through Sunday in Richmond!

We are excited to see our athletes race, challenge themselves, and represent our team with pride. Trust your training, support your teammates, and most importantly, have fun!

Swim fast, race smart, and make some memories. We can't wait to cheer you on! 💙💛

🎉🐬 HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to CGBD Age Group Tier swimmer Hudson Beale on being named Student of the Year at Booker T. Washington Middle School! 🏆📚

This award recognizes leadership, character, citizenship, and positive impact—and Hudson embodies all of those qualities. Whether he's making teammates laugh, encouraging others, or helping create the family atmosphere that makes CGBD special, Hudson has a way of making everyone around him better.

Being recognized at a school known for its Marine Science and Pre-Advanced Placement Magnet Program makes this achievement even more impressive.

At CGBD, we're proud to celebrate our swimmers for who they are both in and out of the pool, and Hudson represents the very best of what it means to be a Blue Dolphin. 💙🐬
