ISKL Aqua Panthers

The Aqua Panthers program is a division of the ISKL HS Athletics Department and is charged with the management and oversight of all pool regulations and the swimming programs.

Our program is inclusive and offers valuable experiences for each student participant by giving them the support needed in order to face the challenges in a swimming environment. We strive to provide the student-athlete with a chance for growth through a variety of swim experiences and competitions, and we hope to build a community that is supportive and enriches the progress of each member of the Aqua Panthers program.

We believe that a strong partnership between students, parents and coaches is essential to the success of the Aqua Panthers program.
