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.
