Swimming and Diving
The Carroll Dragon swim team is among one of the best swim teams in the state. The boys won the state championship in 2001 and 2002 as a 4A school, while the girls came in 2nd both years. The boys and girls team have won their District Championship every year for the past 8 years and in 2010, both teams won the Region 2-5A meet, one of the toughest swimming/diving regions in the state. For the past 3 years, both teams have placed in the top 5 in the state meet, with the Boys finishing 2nd and the Girls finishing 3rd at the Texas 5A State Swim/Dive Championships in Austin in February, 2010. The Dragons were undefeated in the 2010-2011 season as they make a run at both the Boy's and Girl's Texas State 5A Swim/Dive Championships in Austin in Feb at the University of Texas Swim Center. The Carroll Men's team won the State Championship for the 2010-2011 school year, while the Women came in 2nd place. In the 2011-2012 swim/dive season so far, the Southlake Carroll Dragon Swim/Dive Teams are dominating the competition, seemingly on their way to a "double" State 5A Championship in Boy's and Girl's Texas HS Swimming & Diving. Feb 24-25, 2012 will answer that question. Question answered....Southlake Carroll Boy's and Girl's Swim/Dive Teams are the 2011-2012 Texas 5A State Champions, recording a seldom-seen "double", winning both State Championships in the same year! The 2012-2013 Lady Dragon Swim/Dive Team was crowned the NISCA Power-Point Dual Meet National Champions. This competition recognizes superior depth in an entire Program, not just a very few fast swimmers. The Lady Dragons amassed 6396 points in the NISCA Power-Point, to edge out the 2nd place Team by only four points. The 2012-2013 Dragon HS Swim/Dive Programs head into the "Championship" season of Districts, Regionals and State, with identical 14-0 records, making them the favorites to repeat as Texas 5A State Champions. Results posted after the Texas State Meet, Feb 23-24, 2013, at the University of Texas in Austin.

Famous quotes containing the words swimming and/or diving:
“Mead had studied for the ministry, but had lost his faith and took great delight in blasphemy. Capt. Charles H. Frady, pioneer missionary, held a meeting here and brought Mead back into the fold. He then became so devout that, one Sunday, when he happened upon a swimming party, he shot at the people in the river, and threatened to kill anyone he again caught desecrating the Sabbath.”
—For the State of Nebraska, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“A worm is as good a traveler as a grasshopper or a cricket, and a much wiser settler. With all their activity these do not hop away from drought nor forward to summer. We do not avoid evil by fleeing before it, but by rising above or diving below its plane; as the worm escapes drought and frost by boring a few inches deeper.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
