The Dacula Dolphin Swim team has been part of the experience for many of the children who have grown up in Dacula area since 1987. Our goal is to have an environment that helps children to be introduced or improve on their competitive swimming skills. The team practice in the Dacula park pool located at 205 Dacula Rd, Dacula Ga 30019. We are excited to announce that our coaches are: Heather Babcock (Head Coach), Amy Hedges (Assistant Coach), and Jr Coaches Garrision Bemis, Andrew Johnson, and Natalie Larkins.

This is Heather's third year being a head coach for the Dolphins. She is 21 years old and attends Georgia Gwinnett College. She is studying Health and Physical Education so I can teach high school and hopefully continue coaching. Heather has been swimming ten years. I swam for Apalachee Aquatics, SwimAtlanta, and the Dacula High School team.

Assistant coach Amy is a wife and mom of two kids. her son, Ben, is a swimmer on the team. This is her third season on the Dacula Dolphins, and her second season coaching. She swam competitively for the Snellville Supersonics summer league team and for the South Gwinnett High School Swim Team. After that I went to North Georgia College & State University, taught preschool, and worked with a high school youth group at our church.

 Our Jr Coaches:

Garrision Bemis has been swimming on the Dolphins since I was 11 years old and have enjoyed it every year!! I currently attend Mill Creek High School as a junior. I swim for the high school team and at SwimAtlanta Hamilton Mill. As a coach, he hopes to teach what I knows about swimming to your children to the best of my ability and to make them stronger swimmers for the future.

Andrew Johnson is excited to be an assistant coach for Dacula Dolphins!  This upcoming senior at Dacula High School and this past school year was my first year joining the high school swim team. He also swims year round at Swim Atlanta.  He has been on the Dacula Dolphins team since he was eight years old and had so much fun over the years.

In addition, she has swam competitively the past four years through the high school where she competed in county and state events as well as served as a team captain this past year.
