Santa Margarita has enjoyed a tradition of excellence with its swimming and diving team for over 20 years. With the October 2007 opening of the Eagle Aquatics Center, "the fastest pool in the OC," the Swimming & Diving team ranks as one of the top aquatics programs in the Nation.
Since 1993, the swim team has ranked in the Top 10 in Orange County every year, and has placed in the Top 5 in CIF 12 times. The Eagles won the Girls CIF Swimming championship in 2000, and finished 2nd in 2006. Over the years, the Eagles have produced 48 All-American swimmers, 16 individual CIF champions, and four swimmers qualify for the Olympic trials. More than 100 alumni have gone on to swim, dive, or play water polo in college. Since 2000, Eagle swim teams have won 60 of the possible 72 league team titles in the Trinity League--a record no other school can match.
