September is National Deaf Awareness Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the culture, history, experiences, and achievements of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community. πŸ’›

It’s also an opportunity to continue learning about accessibility, communication, and the importance of creating spaces where everyone feels included and supported.

At Nashville Dolphins, we’re proud to celebrate the differences that make each of our swimmers unique and to keep working toward a community where everyone has the opportunity to learn, connect, and thrive! πŸ¬πŸ’™

This past weekend, our Lead Instructors came together for an in-service training focused on preparing for another great season with our swimmers! πŸ’™πŸ¬

We started in the classroom reviewing our curriculum, policies, class structure, and lesson preparation before heading to the pool for hands-on training, skill demonstrations, and time to work through questions together.

We’re so grateful for the care and preparation our instructors bring to every lesson, and we can’t wait to welcome our swimmers back to the pool in September! πŸŠβ€β™€οΈβœ¨

A diagnosis can feel isolating. But here, no one does it alone πŸ’™πŸ¬

What started as swim lessons became something more. We are so proud of the community we’ve been able to foster, with parents who understand, support, and show up for each other!

Looking back on some of our favorite moments from an incredible summer!

One highlight we’re especially proud of: Gabby, Delaney, and Josh representing Special Olympics Tennessee at the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games in Minneapolis! πŸŠβ€β™€οΈβœ¨

We were also so proud to have our Lead Instructor, Brooke, there as a coach for Team Tennessee Swimming, supporting and encouraging athletes throughout the competition.

Congratulations to Gabby, Delaney, Josh, and Brooke! Seeing our Dolphins on the national stage was a pretty special moment, and we couldn’t be prouder. πŸ’™πŸ¬

Behind every Nashville Dolphins success story is an incredible community of volunteers who help make it all possible!

This summer, dozens of volunteers gave their time and talents to support our swimmers at practices, competitions, and special events. From cheering swimmers on from the pool deck to lending a hand behind the scenes, their encouragement and dedication made a lasting impact.

We’re especially grateful to our friends from National Charity League, Inc., Greater Nashville Chapter and YMSL Nashville for showing up throughout the summer with so much enthusiasm and compassion! πŸ’™πŸ¬
