This is truly a rare — perhaps once-in-a-lifetime — opportunity for our community to hear directly from one of America’s most accomplished Olympians.
John Naber, a 3× Olympic Gold Medalist and Olympic Ambassador, continues to inspire generations through his message of discipline, perseverance, and leadership.
We are also proud to recognize:
Coach Ish, whose leadership at Mark Keppel High School has led to an extraordinary legacy — over 90 championships, including 9 CIF titles — setting a standard of excellence that reflects the strength and dedication of Monterey Park youth.
Deliang Li, Olympic Medalist and Head Coach of Arrow Dive, whose students have earned national-level titles, international medals, and collegiate placements — developing athletes who compete and succeed at the highest levels of the sport.
Together, these leaders represent excellence, discipline, and the transformative power of aquatics in shaping young lives.
