Varsity Swim

Philosophy
The Lake Highland Swim & Dive program aims to develop self-confidence, character, and skills in our swimmers.  We also encourage parents to actively support their child and the program.  Through this caring and considerate environment, we provide our community with individuals who are becoming the best they can be as students, citizens and athletes.  Through committed, purposeful practice, each student-athlete sets goals and works hard to achieve those goals.  We capture our philosophy in the words COURAGE and PERSEVERANCE.

Success
The Swim & Dive team can boast 19 individual race State Championships as well as 6 diving State Championships.  The boys and girls programs both earned District and Region Championships in 2020 and additionally both qualified for the State Meet in 2019 and 2020.
