Originally, when the club was formed in 1926, it was only known as the “Dolphin Club.” Its aim was to help improve swimming stroke and technique. Later, the “Seal” was added to include women who wished to swim but were not as advanced as their “Dolphin-sisters.” By the 1930’s and 40’s, the club hosted many events to help raise money and entertain the campus through water-based plays and musicals. Though UNCG still has a swimming team, the Dolphin-Seal club is no longer part of the university.
