1 In 1987, Swimming World Magazine began honoring an overall combined national champion for both boys and girls titles. The school in bold is the combined champion for that year.

2 Swimming World Magazine also awards annual high school swimmer of the year titles. 2000 marked the first time that a team winner also had the individual winner. These teams are bold italics.

3 2005 marked the only time two teams have tied for the combined award, as noted in the girls items.

Famous quotes containing the words swimming, world, high, school, teams and/or year:

    “Loosed betwixt eye and lid, the swimming beams
    Of memory, blind school of cuttlefish,
    Rise to the air, plunge to the cold streams....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.”
    —Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)

    “And the shuttle never falters, but to draw an encouraging conclusion
    From this would be considerable, too odd. Why not just
    Breathe in with the courage of each day, recognizing yourself as one
    Who must with difficulty get down from high places?”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “What a wise and good parent will desire for his own children a nation must desire for all children.”
    —Consultative Committee On The Prima. Report of the Consultative Committee on the Primary School (HADOW)

    “A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The young pines springing up in the corn-fields from year to year are to me a refreshing fact.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
