Many of our members have followed this route and have enjoyed pursuing excellence in aquatics sports. Maybe you will enjoy it too! Dear Dolphins Members,
We hope this message finds you well. As promised, we have some news regarding the opening of the Westmount Pool and the implications of the new protocols for the Westmount Dolphins. We have been officially advised by the City of Westmount that the Westmount Dolphins will not have pool time this summer. They have made this decision based upon the capacity restrictions required by the Provincial health authorities coupled with an effort to offer the community the maximum amount of available time for general use, whether it be during lap swim periods or free swim periods, with allotted time between each for decontamination. We accept this decision knowing that our exclusive use would take away from the limited pool time available to all citizens. Please see the webpage for Westmount Sports and Rec Pool Schedule for more information as it becomes available. We are saddened by this news because it means that we cannot run our programs this summer. But we want to invite you to keep connected with us by following us on Facebook where we will endeavour to keep you posted about all things aquatic. We also wish to invite you to share your photos and memories with us about past Dolphins seasons. We will post these items in our Blog and on Facebook to keep the Dolphins spirit going. We will miss seeing you all this summer but rest assured that we look forward to organizing Dolphins programming for summer 2021. Keep healthy and stay safe! On behalf of the Westmount Dolphins Committee, Helen Campbell President We hope you are all keeping safe and healthy in this time global pandemic.
You probably have gone to our website recently and noticed that we had postponed registration to the Westmount Dolphins 2020 season indefinitely due to COVID-19. We have had nothing to update as regards our programs until now. It has been officially announced last week by our league, the Association of Lakeshore Pools (ALPS), that all sanctioned events are cancelled for summer 2020. It is with a heavy heart that we must relay this message to you. It means that we will not be able to compete in our league. Please see the message from the league. As of today, we still have no word from the City of Westmount as to whether the pool will open or whether we will be able to offer some modified programs within any guidelines from municipal, provincial or federal authorities. For the time being, it does not look as though we will be able to offer any activities this summer. If there is any change in that regard, we will update you immediately. We will miss seeing you all this summer and hope that you will check our website from time to time to see if we have posted any updates or just to remember how much fun you had with the Dolphins each summer. We hope we will see you all again very soon! Stay safe! As the season comes to a close we want to congratulate all of you on everything you have achieved! You have tried new things, learned new skills, perfected skills that you were having trouble with and through it all you had fun. Why not continue your aquatics training during the school year?

Continuing your sport through the winter is a great way to perfect skills and to develop further as an athlete. Many of our members have followed this route and have enjoyed pursuing excellence in aquatics sports. Maybe you will enjoy it too! It is hard to believe that we have already completed weeks 4 and 5 of our regular season. The summer is whizzing by!
Swim Team: Dolphins swimmers have been swimming fast so far this summer keeping us undefeated so far. On July 17 we met Lakeshore Pool where we won 545 to 471. Then at Valois Pool, we fought hard in a very close match-up to break their undefeated streak with a score of 532-512, our relay performances clinching the win. Please sign up to our next meet by midnight. The meet will take place here in Westmount against our friends and rivals from Montreal West (MWAC). We hope every available swimmer will participate so that we can maintain our winning streak! As hosts, we will also need to provide hospitality and the majority of the volunteers and officials on deck so we ask all parents of swimmers to offer their time to help out. SIGN UP SWIMMERS OR VOLUNTEERS HERE. Water Polo: Saturday, July 27 we competed in the Bantam Water Polo tournament hosted by Beaconsfield Heights Pool at their pool and at Windermere. We had 16 players participate, the most ever for our team in a tournament and it was a lot of fun. We lost two and won two and the wins in the middle of the tournament allowed us to advance further than we have ever done before! The loss at the end was unfortunate but Coach Laurée was very proud of the team and their accomplishments this season! Diving: The Novice Divers’ Meet will be taking place on Monday, July 29 and we have one diver participating: Diego Garcia Acevedo. Wish him best of luck! Artistic Swimming: Routines are progressing apace and the girls are putting together the finishing touches in advance of the Summer Swimmers’ Meet on Thursday August 8 where most of them will be competing. Go Dolphins Go! The second and third weeks of the regular season have come and gone in a flash!
There were lots of things happening so here is a chance to recap: Swim Meet vs Hudson Yacht Club July 3: Under clear skies and no weather delays we received the team from Hudson Yacht Club and managed our second big win: 573 to 479. It was a fun meet and we also had a few very fast swims that qualified to our record board. In fact, the first meet had even more records topple than the first meet. Have a look at the record board to see the latest updates. See below this long list of Dolphins who toppled records during the first meet versus CAVIP: Seamus Smalley, 9-10 boys free, new 2nd place, 35.12 Gabrielle Beasse, 11-12 girls free, new 1st place, 28.56 Christopher Alipio, 11-12 boys free, new 1st place, 28.00 Ronnie Hartal, 11-12 boys free, new 2nd place, 29.34 Temuun Uyanga, 11-12 boys free, new 3rd place, 30.09 Ainsley McMurray, 15 and over girls free, new 1st place, 27.35 Ethan Kreuzer, 15 and over boys free, new 3rd place, 25.15 Alice Zha, 11-12 girls breast, new 1st place, 38.09 Andrew Xie, 13-14 boys back, tie 2nd place, 31.03 Ethan Kreuzer, 15 and over boys back, new 2nd place, 28.72 Kieran Smalley, 8 and under boys fly, new 2nd place, 21.15 Seamus Smalley, 9-10 boys fly, new 3rd place, 17.37 Gabrielle Beasse, 11-12 girls fly, new 1st place, 32.54 Christopher Alipio, 11-12 boys fly, new 1st place, 30.81 V.Hall, A. Zha, A. Seirafi, G. Beasse, 11-12 girls relay, new 1st place, 2:03.02 C. Alipio, A. Yang, T. Uyanga, R. Hartal, 11-12 boys relay, new 1st place, 2:04.46 Congrats to the girls who broke records at the second meet versus HYC: Alice Zha, 11-12 girls breast, new 1st place, 37.62 Alice Zha, 11-12 girls back, new 3rd place 36.40 Gabrielle Béasse, 11-12 girls fly, new 1st place, 32.44 Swim Meet July 10 at BEAU: We met Beaurepaire on their home turf on July 10 and squeaked out a win with a nail-biter of a competition against a fun rival: 534 to 522. We will see if there were any record swims and will update you in a future blog post if there were any. A reminder to Swim Team parents: the next two meets (July 17 and 24) are away meets. While we are not hosting, we are required by the league to bring 9 timers and 5 senior officials so we still need volunteers at away meets. We have had a bit of struggle assembling volunteers for the meet July 10, so we hope that you will answer the call for the next two meets: if we don’t have timers, it is difficult to run a fair and fun competition. The kids are counting on you! Water Polo: We fielded a mixed team to play in the Summer Water Polo Players Tournament hosted by Valois Pool of Pointe-Claire. The boys and girls were in the 14 and younger category and got to play two matches. The suffered a big loss in the first round but in the second round they managed to tie the game and unfortunately lost in a shoot-out. Despite the losses they had a good time. Sign up has begun for the Atom 10 and under tournament taking place on July 20 and hosted by Windermere Pool of Beaconsfield. Artistic Swimming: Routines are progressing at a rapid pace and our “synchro” team is full this season! Swimsuits have been ordered and we are excited to see what the 5 different routines will look like in the end. Diving: Our diving team is small this season and they have been working hard and having fun. They can begin signing up for the Novice Divers’ Meet scheduled for Monday, July 29 at Lakeside Pool in Pointe-Claire. But before that, we would like to have a fun meet at our own pool on Thursday July 25 during the regular practice. Parents that would like to learn more about diving and are available during the day are welcome to come and help out at the meet doing various tasks. We look forward to reading about more Dolphins exploits in upcoming Blog posts. Go Dolphins Go! What a great first week of the regular season!
We want to thank all of you who participated in the first swim meet this past Wednesday night and came out in great force to help us toward our first win: 542 to 491 over CAVIP, the team from Ile Perrot. Thank you for waiting out the storm that threatened which finally blew by. It was a long night but we were successful. Thanks to all of you who contributed to the bake sale and concessions we raised just under $600 to go towards the ribbons and our end of season banquet. Thursday was our first theme day and we hope you all had fun playing games that morning! A small number of you also turned out for Bob Night which was a blast! The next Bob night is Thursday July 11. All week you have been working and improving and we cannot wait to see what you can do next week with what you have learned so far. See what is coming up:
It is finally here, what we’ve all been waiting for: our favourite summertime place and summertime fun! Yes, the pre-season has finished and we are ready to embark on the regular season of Summer2019!!
Preseason gave everyone a chance to get their feet wet, but now the real action is about to begin. We’ve got lots in store but this first week is going to be rock and roll:
We are really excited to get back into our Dolphins groove and look forward to seeing you in the mornings! It is going to be a GREAT SUMMER! Go Dolphins Go! It is hard to believe that our 2018 season has finished and some of our coaches have started school already!
We want to thank you all for being a part of this season: for swimming fast, playing hard, keeping synchronized and daring to dive. You have accomplished so much! We want to congratulate our Synchro teams for moving up the standings from past seasons. We want to congratulate our water polo team for improving upon past performances and winning a key match to make it to the final round of games in the tournament. We want to applaud the four divers who qualified to diving finals: way to go! And finally we want to let out a big cheer for a super swim team who were the third place team in Section A Finals, the fifth place team overall in ALPS Finals, the third place team overall in ALPS Consolation Finals, and the fifth place team overall for the 10 and under category at ALPS Finals, which shows us that the Dolphins have a great future ahead of us! We had some record breakers this summer too and we noted them each week. Section Finals and Finals were no different--there were many team records that were surpassed so check out the All-time Records Board on our website to see the updates. Please congratulate Benjamin Richards (two records!), the 8 and under boys' relay (Rafael, Kieran, Finlay and Benjamin) and the 9-10 girls' relay (Margaux, Aisha, Ava and Violette) for their performances at Section Finals on August 11. Congratulations are also in order for Violette Hall (two records!), Ronnie Hartal, Coach Juliette Vermes-Monty (two records!), as well as the 8 and under boys' relay team (Rafael, Kieran, Finlay and Benjamin) for their achievements at ALPS Finals on August 18. We would also like to note that Violette Hall managed to achieve two ALPS top-ten records at Finals: a 7th place record in 50 m freestyle and a 5th place record in 50 breaststroke. She will join a number of Dolphins who have over the years achieved the status of ALPS record holder! Way to go Violette! We want to thank everyone who came out to the End of Season Party at Victoria Hall last Sunday evening (August 19). It was great to see all of you and we want to thank all the families who brought such delicious food! We had an amazing feast! We don't think anyone went away hungry. Of course the games at the pool after the party were so much fun and bittersweet--there were lots of hugs and a few tears as we said our goodbyes for the summer. During the party, some awards were distributed to children who had stood out over the summer, for their dedication, spirit, and achievements in the pool. Please have a look at the list here: 2018 Awards. If you were not present and received an award, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@westmountdolphins.org if you would like to pick it up. We will keep it safe for you in the mean time. Speaking of awards, many of you have ribbons outstanding that you may still wish to collect: again, send us a message at the email address indicated above and we will put you in contact with Leah Trineer, our ribbon lady, so you can arrange to pick them up. Thank you again for a great season! Keep an eye on our website over the winter to see any updates about upcoming events or registration for Summer 2019! We can hardly wait to see you all again! Go Dolphins Go! As the season comes to a close we want to congratulate all of you on everything you have achieved! You have tried new things, learned new skills, perfected skills that you were having trouble with and through it all you had fun. Why not continue your aquatics training during the school year?
