Chilkat Valley News - Serving Haines and Klukwan, Alaska since 1966

Thank you so much to all the volunteers who make the Haines Dolphins Swim Team the vibrant organization that it is. Many thanks to the American Legion for hosting and donating their kitchen for our last two dinner fundraisers. Thank you to all the folks who bought dinner, and to all the busy hands that made it happen.

The last two years have been tough in so many ways. We have not had a full-blown Swimboree fundraiser since 2019...it is the single most important fundraiser that keeps the team afloat and solvent. You may be more familiar with it having been called “swimathon”. This year, it will be held on April 9. Please consider sponsoring a swimmer...or 2 or 3...

This program is often the first experience our Haines kids have in being a part of a team. They learn life-long skills, both in and out of the water. Sponsoring a swimmer is a great way to support this valuable resource!
