About Soo Y Dolphins Swim Team
The Soo Y Dolphins are a resilient and dedicated swim team with a prominent place in the Michigan Team Swim League (MTSL). As the only Canadian team in this league, we are honored each competition with the playing of the Canadian anthem, representing not only Sault Ste. Marie but Canada itself in swim meets across Michigan.
With a current roster of 16 enthusiastic young swimmers, the Dolphins regularly achieve top finishes, frequently placing in the top three in their events. Over the past 60 years, our team has built a legacy of excellence, with many former Dolphins going on to compete at the university level and beyond.
Beyond competitive success, the Soo Y Dolphins and the YMCA provide an invaluable environment for kids to stay active and build confidence in team sports. The YMCA’s support, including complimentary pool time, and our volunteer coaches’ commitment are instrumental in sustaining this legacy. Together, we create a positive and affordable environment. For our competitive group, our location enables convenient same-day travel to many various swim meets—an essential factor for families managing multiple swimmers on the team.
Our team embodies YMCA values, treating each swimmer and family with honesty, respect, and compassion. With minimal entry requirements, the Soo Y Dolphins welcome swimmers of all levels to join us recreationally or competitively. By preserving our team’s heritage, we continue to honor a 60-year tradition that celebrates the spirit of Canadians and Saultites in Michigan.
