Each year we host a bake sale during the event. Link above to sign up to bring individually packaged baked goods. Bring cash to purchase treats! All proceeds benefit the Dolphins.

Important Information:

Our swim team will host a "Dol-fund" swim to support the Nashville Dolphins, an organization that provides FREE swim team and swim lessons for people with disabilities. Wildwood was the TOP money raising team two years in the NSL, and we are determined to win again!    

Former coach and long time friend of the Gators, Brenda Vroon is also Executive Director and Head Swim Coach of the Nashville Dolphins and we have 4 Nashville Dolphins who are on the Wildwood Gators team and 6 swimmers that have siblings that are Dolphins! We have 4 of our coaches who are weekly volunteers, and many of our 11+ ups who are also weekly volunteers. Ask any of them, they can tell you the amazing stories about how this organization changes lives! 

Our goal is to raise at least $25 per Wildwood Gator swimmer. THANK YOU for being a part of our swim team’s support of the Nashville Dolphins!  

How do I participate?    

The "Dol-Fund" event will take place during our regularly scheduled practice times. Ask for sponsors!

What happens during the Dol-Fund Swim?     

Our swim coaches will tabulate how many laps your child swims during practice. Afterwards, you will receive a spreadsheet letting you know how many laps your swimmer completed during the Swimathon.      

How do I contribute financially?    

Link above. Then click the button that says "Make a Donation" and put ‘Wildwood Gators" and your swimmers name when you are completing an online contribution.   

Your  swimmer may ask family, friends and neighbors to contribute a dollar amount per lap he or she swims. (For reference, our younger swimmers may complete between 5-15 laps but our more experienced swimmers may complete 30+ laps during their time in the pool.) Or, you may contribute a flat dollar amount. Our goal this year is to raise at least $25 per swimmer.
