Starting in the late 1940’s, early 1950’s, the Dolphin Club was a recreational participation group involved with women’s swimming. They specialized in synchronized swimming along with water “stunts”. This was a team the women tried out for in order to measure the variety of skill. The Dolphins put on performances, sometimes collaborating with the Orchesis, a modern dance organization at Monmouth College that had been around since 1950. Two of their performances were “Westward Ho!” in 1970, and “Splash In Color” in 1967. These photographs are from the production “Westward Ho!”
