Swimming

An Unwavering Commitment to Success

Nicknamed the "Finned" Lions, Rowland Hall's swim team is defined by a commitment to excellence, ethics, and character.

Success in this demanding sport requires 100% dedication from every swimmer, individually and as a team. This is especially important because Rowland Hall’s swimmers compete in an ever-changing 2A/3A classification, which means facing larger schools and tougher competition. It’s a challenge they consistently meet with success.

Rowland Hall swimmers also show their dedication to success by maintaining a strong academic record alongside their athletic prowess. Along the way, our experienced coaching staff inspire students to be their best through valuable lessons they carry through life.

Winged Lion Legacy

Swimming at Rowland Hall has been around for over a century—in fact, swim lessons in the school's indoor pool were a required course as early as the 1920s. Rowland Hall's first competitive interscholastic swim team was formed during the 1994–1995 season, and in no time, the team was a force to be reckoned with; at the time, one rival school's coach even stated, "In a very few years, Rowland Hall-St. Mark’s will have one of the best swimming teams in the state, at any level!"
