The Ceres Dolphins recreational swim club opened the 2015 MVSL dual-campaign with a 1,1641/2-1,0051/2 loss to the Turlock Sea Dogs on May 30 at Turlock High School.

"I'm really happy with the overall performance," Ceres head coach Tracy Bull said. "We dominated on the girls' side. We gave up so many points on the boys' side. Their numbers are crazy. Give them credit. They got a lot of athletes. We have better athletes, but just not enough of them."
