Another unbelievable semester in the classroom for Catawba Swimming 📚

The Women’s Team setting another impressive record this spring with the highest GPA in program history - 3.94!

The Men’s Team finishing with an incredible 3.63 for the spring semester.

We couldn’t be more proud of our student athletes for all the hard work they continue to put into the classroom!

Class of 2026 🎓

Four years ago, we asked this class to take a leap of faith with a new staff and a new vision for our program. They trusted us through some of the most important chapters of their lives, and now at the end of the book, it’s filled with more powerful words than we ever could have wished to write into the story.

Since that first day, this group has conquered more than we ever could’ve imagined — school records, highest GPAs, setbacks, early mornings, hard conversations, lifelong friendships, and moments that will stay with us forever. But beyond the accomplishments, they grew together as one.

They helped plant the seeds of this program, and at the end of it all, watched it blossom into something we once only hoped it could be.

So Class of 2026 —

Thank you for trusting us four years ago. Thank you for believing in the vision. And thank you for leaving this place infinitely better than you found it. You all will forever and always hold a special place in this program’s heart.

We know the next book is going to be even better than this one.

Congratulations, We LOVE you guys. ❤️💙
