Long course season is officially underway!

Our Dolphins are spending their Friday night are the CAC Qualifier for our first meet of the long course season!

Let’s go Dolphins!

We are proud to announce the 2026 recipient of the Wallingford Dolphins Senior Scholarship: Jack Angelastro, graduating from Sheehan High School.

Jack represents everything the WFYD Dolphins stand for, dedication, teamwork, resilience, and leadership both in and out of the pool. We are honored to recognize his contributions to the team and celebrate all he has accomplished during his time with the Dolphins.

This award is made possible thanks to the generous support of Dan Combs Real Estate, Inc., with $1,000 of their contribution going directly to our Senior Scholarship. Thank you Patrick and Joanne Combs for making this year’s scholarship possible as well as your support of our athletes and helping us celebrate their success and growth.

Congratulations, Jack!

Coach Mike made a deal with our Dolphins: best times at YMCA New England Championships = pie to the face 🥧

And guess what… every single swimmer showed up, swam their heart out, and walked away with best times across the board!

Needless to say, Coach Mike held up his end of the bargain 😅

Let long course season begin. 💜🐬
