Dara was the swim coach for the swim club in Radium in 2003 and when they were going through a name change, Jim Jenkinson one of the directors at the time suggested "Dara's Dolphins". Since Dara loves Dolphins she felt the name was perfect for her. However, the club ended up changing from "Radium Silver Fins" to  "Columba Valley Otters". When Dara opened up her own business teaching swimming lessons and First Aid, her trade name was "Dara's Dolphins." When she retired and closed Dara Allen Enterprises in 2017, she kept the Domain name for Dara's Dolphins knowing she may want to use it in the future.

When she was establishing the corporation in August of 2023, she knew that "Dara's Dolphins" had to be part of the name even though it had nothing to do with Transportation. 

For over 15 years, locals and visitors alike knew Dara as  "Dara's Dolphins" and as it was such a positive experience and so well known in the valley, she knew Dara's Dolphins was meant to continue serving the valley  but just in a different niche.
