Welcome

Welcome to the South Irvine Dolphins team! The Dolphins swim team is an all-parent run organization and has been a proud member of the Irvine Swim League since 1995.

The South Irvine Dolphins team is one of the ISL’s “city teams” and can offer membership to swimmers living anywhere in the city of Irvine or any swimmer attending a school located in the city of Irvine. Membership is open to swimmers ages 5 – 18 (by June 1) and the team can take up to 120 swimmers.

There are no try-outs for members but the team is not a “learn to swim” organization and swimmers ages 5-8 will be participating in 25 yard races and swimmers ages 9-18 will participate in 50 yard and 100 yard races.

The Dolphins season is a 10-week program which typically begins on the first of June and runs through the second week in August. The team participates in 5 regular swim meets and one Championship meet during the season – all held in the city of Irvine, typically on Saturday mornings.

The team is fortunate to be able to practice at the 10 lane aquatics facility located on the campus of University High School (UHS).  UHS is located at 4771 Campus Drive, Irvine 92612. The Dolphins’ home meets are held at either the Woolett Aquatics Center at Heritage Park or at the Northwood High School aquatics center in Northwood.

The team is run by a parent board and the team’s swim meets are also run by parents.  Dolphin swimmers are coached by a team of college & high school aged American Red Cross certified individuals.
