South High Spartan Swim Team

Our Mission

South High Swim Team's mission is to create and foster life-long swimmers in an enviornment that promotes teamwork, integrity, dedication, strong skills, academic excellence, and hard work. We believe every student can swim and that we can teach, help improve, and enourage all students toward excellence. 

Swim is not an individual sport. We don't believe there is an "I" in team.  Every practice counts.  Every meet counts.  Every flip turn counts.  Every point counts.  Every swimmer counts.  We are a TEAM!

Congratulations to Kayla Thompson who attended CIF State 2024 and finished 19th in Backstroke for Division 3 in California!

 ABOUT THE TEAM!

2024:  Season 6-1       (JVG 7-0, JVB 6-1, VG 5-2, VB 5-2) 

SHS Swim Team is committed to achieving high league standings and has a history of excellence.  In 2024, we had a 6-1 season and were 3rd in league, only 14 points below the second place winner.  We had 4 school records shattered and had the the largest showing of girls in CIF D3 this year where we finished 4th overall!  Kayla Thompson represented South at State for backstroke and earned 19th place. The boys also represented us at CIF with two in finals. It was an amazing season!  In 2023, South came in third overall in Pioneer League, had 16 swimmers qualify for CIF, 7 CIF finalists, with Kayla Thompson and Adriel Sun both  qualified for State.  2022 was a banner year with 5 school records shattered, D3 League champions, CIF finalists and state representation where our swimmer was in the top 10 swimmers in California. In 2019, South was Pioneer League Champions and was CIF champions in the Girls 200 Free relay. In 2016, both Varsity Boys and Girls, as well as FS/JV Girls were League Champions for the first time in SHS History! In 2015, FS/JV girls and FS/JV boys won League Championships.   At Pioneer League Finals in 2012,  2013, 2016, and 2017, the Varsity Girls team broke league records and won the Pioneer League Championships.  In 2011, South became the top team in Torrance Unified School District for the first time in history.
