Team Mission Statement

Thank you for participating with the North Irvine Knights swim team.  The ISL organization has been around for over 25 years contributing to positive, completive, and fun environment for the children of our community to engage in.  Communities and families come together, through this great program!

North Irvine Knights Goals and Mission:
  • Provide a healthy, active and positive environment for kids to have fun!
  • Make new friends
  • Improve swimmer's stroke technique, breeding stronger confident swimmers.
  • Build athletic endurance
  • Encourage individual growth by inspiring swimmers to make obtainable goals by simply improving against their own swim stroke times set at previous meets. 
  • Encourage team growth, by supporting our fellow teammates during their swim events.

Parents can expect..
  • Good coaching  to guide the children with  proper swim technique
  • Open communication between coaches and/or team representatives to resolve any arising issues
  • A positive, yet competitive (at recreational level) environment for the children.

Parents are expected to... 
  • Participate.  This is a non-profit organization.  Successful meets will take the coordination of swimmer participation and parent volunteers.  Please be responsible for your volunteer commitment to the team!
  • Trust the coaches with your children’s welfare at practice, as well as their judgment at the meets.  We can always discuss any issues you may disagree with after practice on the following Monday from the meet day.
  • Be considerate and not interrupt coaches during the practice sessions.  This time should be dedicated to the swimmers, and coaches must be fully attentive to them during this time.  If you need to discuss something with a coach, please do so, after the swim session has ended.
  • Cooperate and be team players, so we can make each meet a pleasant event for our families as well as all the visiting families.

Swimmers are expected to.. 
  • Plan for a versatile workout.  There will be dryland exercises supplemented into the practice routines.  Please bring tennis shoes to every practice
  • Do their personal best at practice and meets.
  • Be responsible and prepared for practice and meets.
  • Make new friends and HAVE FUN!
