The weather proved no challenge, as we were able to power through and host a successful swim meet against the Indian Head Torpedos. The Torpedos, on the other hand, were a challenge. After the freestyle events our Dolphins were trailing by 11 points, but that deficit grew to 46 by the end of the meet. The final score: IH: 286 NCR: 240 Check out the results posted on our Meet Results page Grey Skies but Triple Blue!The number of swimmers walking away with three blue ribbons this week was smaller than previous meets this season, but that doesn't diminish the accomplishment of these talented swimmers!
This week NCR traveled to Pointer Ridge Swim Club to swim against the Porpoises. Despite the absence of a number of our swimmers due to illness or family obligations, our Dolphins came to compete, and compete they did! It was a back and forth battle all morning, but in the end the Porpoises edged the Dolphins by eight points. Final score: NCR: 244 PR: 252 No, you're not seeing double...NCR's score matched the score from the week before! The results are posted under the Meet Results page Despite the loss, many of our swimmers had their best swim of the season, and the DQ count was significantly lower this week. All should be congratulated on their accomplishments this week! Triple Blue WinnersSpeaking of accomplishments, several swimmers at the meet took first in all of their individual events:

The 2022 swim season started off with a close meet. A REALLY close meet. Much of the meet NCR trailed by less than 15 points. Going into the final relays, NCR was on top, but only just barely. In the end the visiting Fort Washington Sharks edged out our NCR Dolphins by one point. One. Yes, it was that close! Final Score: FW: 239 NCR: 238 Congrats to the Sharks for grabbing the win, but also to all the swimmers for their efforts in the pool on this blustery Saturday. Complete results are posted under the Meet Results page.
