OCALA, Fla. – The 2026 Florida High School Swimming & Diving State Championships will conclude this weekend with classifications 1A & 2A. For the fourth consecutive year, Ocala’s Florida Aquatics Swimming & Training Center (FAST) will serve as the host location, with the event made possible thanks to the ongoing partnership of the Ocala/Marion County Visitors and Convention Bureau (OMCVB). Classifications 1A & 2A will compete this Friday, November 13^th, and Saturday, November 14^th while Classifications 3A & 4A competed this past weekend.

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 1A competition, the Bulldogs of Bolles (Jacksonville) are the most dominant school in the history of high school swimming in Florida, and will be seeking their 39^th consecutive team state championship on the boy’s side, along with their equally dominant 36^th consecutive title on the girls’. In Class 2A, Holy Names (Tampa) returns to Ocala as winners of four consecutive girls state championships, while Bishop Kenny (Jacksonville) seeks their second straight and sixth overall title on the boys’ side.

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 $14.00, and a day of price of $17.00.
