Dolphin Show

A group of Northwestern University men formed the Dolphin Club in 1939 to compete in Chicago area swimming meets.

In 1940, the 15-member team held a swim carnival to raise money to attend a meet in Florida.

The Dolphin Show became jointly produced by the female Lorelei swimming club in 1949, but drifted away from its aquatic origin.
