{ZDST} Welcome to Zion Dolphins Swim Team! {ZDST}

Thank you for your interest in Zion Dolphins Swim Team!  We are a youth swim team based in Zion, Illinois that serves families in the communities of Zion, Winthrop Harbor, Kenosha, Beach Park, Wadsworth, Gurnee, Antioch, Lindenhurst and everywhere in between and beyond!  We compete in the A Division of the Northern Illinois Swim Conference (NISC). 

On ZDST, our coaches will provide the opportunity for all team members to:

• Develop physical skills in the sport of swimming

• Learn positive social behavior and team  sportsmanship characteristics

• Develop knowledge and appreciation for swimming as a healthy lifetime activity

• Keep winning and losing in its proper perspective

Remember, winning does not necessarily mean coming in first place every time you swim.  You are a winner if you try your hardest and you are improving your times and techniques.  We will strive to accomplish all this while having fun, teaching respect at all times and instilling pride in the swimmers for their achievements.

Practice sessions will focus on developing four competitive strokes and building knowledge in physical training, nutrition, swim terminology and goal setting.  Coaches will use stroke drills, stroke mechanics, starts and turns, and race strategies to teach swimmers.  Practices will be designed to improve strokes for personal achievements as well as team success.
