Who We Are
The Copperfield Dolphins is a not-for-profit summer swim team open for boys and girls from 5 to 18 years old who live in the Copperfield subdivision of Houston, Texas. The Dolphins compete in the Northwest Aquatic League (NWAL) and follow the official rules set forth by that organization.
Summer swim leagues are competitive, athletic activities. We emphasize the teaching of sound competitive swimming skills, good sportsmanship, the promotion of individual improvement, and having a good time with friends.
