Presented by Central Florida Expressway

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The 2025 Florida High School Swimming & Diving State Championships conclude this weekend with classifications 3A & 4A. For the third consecutive year, Ocala’s Florida Aquatics Swimming & Training Center (FAST) will serve as the host location, with the event being made possible due to the ongoing partnership of the Ocala/Marion County Visitors and Convention Bureau (OMCVB). Classifications 1A & 2A competed last weekend, with Classifications 4A & 3A competing on Friday, November 14th, and Saturday, November 15th.

Individuals and relay teams all became eligible to compete in their respective events at the State Championships after qualifying and advancing through both the District and Regional levels that have taken place over the past two weeks. In Class 4A team competition of note, the Rams of Riverview (Sarasota) on the girls’ side have won four straight state championships and will be seeking a fifth title in a row when they take to the deck on Friday. On the boys’ side, the Bulldogs of Braddock (Miami) upended the three-time straight Sarasota Sailors to claim their first ever team championship and will be seeking a repeat performance again this year.  In Class 3A competition, which will take to the pool deck on Saturday, St. Johns County will seek continued success with the boys’ program from Nease (Ponte Vedra) and girls’ program from Ponte Vedra. The Nease Panthers on the boys’ side have put together back three straight team championships and will be seeking another impressive performance from their large number of qualified athletes. On the girls side, the Sharks of Ponte Vedra will be seeking a fifth consecutive team championship.

The championship event is setup so each classification will compete on their own day in a multi-session format. The morning session will consist of the preliminary qualifying events, with the Finals tentatively scheduled to begin at 5:30 pm each evening. Tickets are currently on sale and being sold per session through GoFan for an advanced purchase rate of $13.00, and a day of price of $16.00.
