Membership Information

Thank you for your interest in The Dolphins. The Dolphins Swim Team is privately owned and practices at West Hills Racquet and Fitness Club located at 2200 SW Cedar Hills Boulevard, Portland, Oregon, 97225, near the intersection of Walker Road and Cedar Hills Boulevard. We are a medium-sized team emphasizing stroke technique, endurance, but most of all fun and team spirit. Over the years we have been together, we have accomplished exciting things, including producing Junior National and National qualifiers, many Oregon Top 5 swimmers, setting state records, and placing swimmers in the Top 10 nationally. Our coaches believe that each swimmer is important, and we work hard to give each swimmer the best coaching possible.

To best serve each swimmer's needs, we evaluate swimmers and place them on the squad that best suits their abilities as well as their level of commitment. We have several squads to serve several different levels of swimmers. All squads emphasize stroke skills and endurance at appropriate levels based on the skill and commitment of the swimmers. We have a dedicated staff of coaches committed to the success of your swimmer!

West Hills requires that all swimmers be members of the club. Information about membership fees can be obtained from the club directly. Their phone number is: 503-646-4106. To arrange a tryout, please contact our Head Coach, Nacim Bouferrache, at 503-449-8779. You can also contact our Membership Coordinator listed under the Contacts Section of the website.
