Dublin High School

At the heart of our team spirit, our Swim Buddy program is meant to create meaningful connections, foster encouragement, and enhance the overall swim team experience. It's not just about swimming; it's about building a community where everyone feels supported.

How it Works:

At the beginning of each season, swimmers are matched with each other, in the hopes of creating bonds that extend beyond the lanes. Introductions should take place during the first home meet, setting the stage for a season of friendship and support.

Swim Buddy Responsibilities:

• Celebrate their achievements and provide support.
• Share your enthusiasm and team spirit through cheering.
• Act as a role model and source of inspiration for each other.

At Practice/School:

• Introduce yourself and share your swimming story.
• Engage your Swim Buddy with questions about their interests.
• Be a source of inspiration and encouragement during practice.

At Swim Meets:

• Visit your Swim Buddy before their event to offer words of encouragement.
• Be a positive presence on deck, cheering your Swim Buddy during their swim.
• While gifts are not the focus, small tokens of kindness are encouraged:

Gifts:

• A bottle of water, Gatorade, or juice.
• Favorite fruits or a healthy snack.
• Energy snacks, candy, or a protein bar.
• Swim-related items like caps or water bottles.
• Handmade signs or cards expressing encouragement.
