DIVE IN with the Okinawa Dolphins

When the air feels warmer and wetter, it means only one thing—summer is on the way. What’s the best way to cool off from this summer while doing something both exciting and challenging? Join the Okinawa Dolphins Swim Team!

"The Okinawa Dolphins strive to provide a competitive swimming program in which all swimmers can develop to the maximum of their abilities,” says Mathew Luebbers, Okinawa Dolphins Head Coach. “If they are a novice, they get the appropriate level of instruction. If they are a swimmer above that, we offer challenged to help them get there.” Swimmers have the opportunity to compete in local Japanese meets as well as other swimming competitions.

Tryouts for the Okinawa Dolphins will be held on May 19, 20, and 21 from 3 to 5:15 p.m. at the Foster 50-Meter Pool. To make the team, swimmers must be at least 7 years old and complete a minimum of 2x25 meter non-stop, legal swims using two of the four competitive styles (front crawl, back crawl, breaststroke, or butterfly) with no outside assistance. Coaches will be looking for technique, not speed. Once the tryout is over, a coach will meet with the swimmer and parent(s) to discuss the results.

Spring and summer swim seasons run May 27 to July 22. Spring after-school practices will run from May 27 to June 12, with specific practice times assigned to each skill level group after tryouts. Summer practices will run 8 to 10:30 am, from June 16 to July 22.

Mother’s Day Brunch

It’s recognized the world over that there’s really no way to fully thank our mothers for the lifetime of love, support, and guidance they provide. And it’s just as impossible to conceive of all the things for which they deserve to be thanked. However, treating your mom to a special Mother’s Day brunch at an MCCS club on May 11 is one very pleasant way to express the thanks that often go unspoken for both small deeds and large.

At the Butler Officers’ Club your mom can enjoy a scrumptious brunch of breakfast fare, fresh fruit, baked ham, roast turkey, and superb house-made desserts. Adults eat for $15.50 and children for $7.75. At Kinser Surfside a similarly delicious meal will be served for $13.50 for adults and $5.50 for children.

At the Awase Meadows Restaurant adults can dine for $12.95 and children for $6.95. Special Mother’s Day cuisine will be available, including made-to- order eggs and omelets, a platter of bacon, ham, and sausage, country potatoes with homemade gravy, biscuits, grits, pancakes, breads, oatmeal, and fresh fruit.

At Thirsty’s Enlisted Club a lavish spread will include chicken, beef, and fish entrees. Eggs Benedict and omelets will also be available. Tasty desserts will include crepes, Danish pastries, and cakes. Adults can enjoy this brunch for $10.94 and children for $5.50.

Brunches are open to all ranks and services. Marine Corps ID card holders can receive $3 off adult and $1 off children’s brunch prices.
