Dear DCCL Swimmers and Families,

Welcome to the 2025 Dominion Country Club Swim League season! As we dive into an exciting six weeks of team competition, I want to take a moment—on behalf of the entire DCCL Board—to wish each of you the very best of luck.

With nearly 1000 swimmers across 10 amazing clubs, our league represents the best of what summer swimming is all about: teamwork, community spirit, and friendly competition. Whether this is your first season or your final one, we hope you make lasting memories, new friendships, and continue to grow as both athletes and teammates.

A few things to keep in mind as we get underway:

• Give your best effort. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply racing for your team, what matters most is showing up and giving it your all.
• Practice good sportsmanship. Cheer for your teammates, shake hands with your competitors, and show respect to coaches, volunteers, and officials. How we compete matters just as much as the result.
• Be safe and have fun. Listen to your coaches, stay hydrated, and most importantly—enjoy yourself! 

We’re looking forward to an incredible season filled with great races, team spirit, and fun for all. Thank you to the parents, coaches, volunteers, and club staff who make this league possible—we couldn’t do it without your support.

One other quick, but important note: the amazing folks at the Country Club of Fairfax have agreed to host BOTH days of our year-end All-Star event this season.  I wanted to publicly thank them for their willingness to take on this effort and let them know they will have to full support of the Board and hopefully many, many other volunteers from across the DCCL to make it a fantastic event!

Here’s to a safe, successful, and unforgettable DCCL season. Let’s make it one to remember!

Warm regards,

Todd Mercer
President, DCCL
