Mission Statement

 The Mission of the Lake Erie Silver Dolphin swim team is to develop nationally ranked swimmers and world class citizens. LESD offers swimmers an environment in which swimming excellence is a possible achievement and in which each swimmer can reach his or her full potential.  Within this framework, LESD realizes an obligation to meet the physical, mental, emotional and social needs of all of its swimmers.  At LESD, swimmers have the opportunity to be the best that they can be. Silver Dolphins learn the value of hard work, commitment and self-discipline.  They learn to take responsibility for their actions and to develop a true appreciation for what they as individuals can accomplish. 

 

   

  Happy July 4th!

Special thanks to Marie Salibra, Kim Babbin, Lisa Koucheki, Josie Cerer, Beth Forsythe, Maria Rimmerman, Scott Lane, Janet Ranallo and all of the dedicated LESD parents (too many to mention) who  generously donated their time and efforts in support of their children and the Lake Erie Silver Dolphin Swim Team at the Busbey Meet. Great job!

Silver Dolphins Win the Barbara K Minimeet!

LESD 8&U swimmers packed up and headed south for their yearly trek to the Barbara K. Minimeet in Worthington, Ohio.  This year we sent a huge contingent of 39 swimmers -- our largest group ever to go the Barbara K. -- making us the second largest team there.  There were many fine swims turned in from all the 21 teams present, but when the bubbles cleared it  was a proud Dolphin atop the winner’s podium.  Way to go, Dolphins!
