Who We Are

The Nashville Dolphins mission is to improve the health and quality of life for children and adults with special needs while combating the alarming rates of drowning deaths in the special needs community. We have grown from serving one swimmer in 2003 to over 300 last session. It is our hope and dream to build our own facility to serve more swimmers in an attempt to reach the over 400 swimmers waiting for our services.

What We Do

The Nashville Dolphins offer adaptive programs-from essential water safety and survival skills to competitive swim team training-assuring that every swimmer, regardless of ability, has the opportunity to thrive. Beyond the pool, we empower our swimmers to experience the Joy, pride, and belonging with being a lifetime member of the Nashville Dolphins family. Our programs are free to the participants and their families.
