Sponsors

We would like to thank the following local businesses for their sponsorship of the Athens Clarke Dolphins this year. The Dolphins could not function without the help of fine organizations such as these. If you enjoyed your experience with the Dolphins, please be sure to support our sponsors with your patronage.

The Athens Bulldog Swim Club is a non-profit USAS registered swimming organization based at the University of Georgia's Gabrielsen Natatorium. We offer programs ranging from learn to swim classes to training groups focused on competition at the highest level. We have served the swimming needs of the greater Athens area for over 20 years and our philosophy remains the same--at ABSC we believe in emphasizing the development of the whole child.

Across the board our aim is to provide our swimmers with the skills and background necessary to achieve their individual swimming goals, but we understand that swimming is not an end in of itself. Learning sportsmanship and developing good character are two of the most important things a child can gain from participating in athletics.

Though success in the pool is important, ABSC swimmers are encouraged to value a strong work ethic, be commited to self improvement, and display respect for others. One will find that at ABSC winning or losing take a backseat to preparation and doing one’s best, values which will help children succeed not just in swimming, but in life.

As a high school student working at a local pizza pub in Jeffersonville, Indiana, Papa John's founder John Schnatter realized that there was something missing from national pizza chains: a superior-quality traditional pizza delivered to the customer's door. His dream was to one day open a pizza restaurant that would fill that void.

In 1984, "Papa" John Schnatter knocked out a broom closet located in the back of his father's tavern (Mick's Lounge), sold his prized 1972 Z28 Camaro, purchased $1,600 worth of used restaurant equipment, and began selling his pizzas to the tavern's customers. The customers loved the pizza so much that John was able to expand by moving into adjoining space, eventually leading to the opening of the first Papa John's restaurant in 1985.

Today, there are more than 3,000 Papa John's restaurants worldwide. Please visit our Dolphins Sponsor, the Athens restaurant located at 498 Baxter Street (706) 543-7272.
