The 2025 VISAA State Swimming and Diving Championships will be held at the Jeff Rouse Swim and Sport Center in Stafford, VA (1600 Mine Rd, Stafford, VA 22554) on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 13-15, 2025. This is 45-minutes from Seton, so we will not have an AirBnB team house for meals between sessions.
For the Swimming portion of the competition, the schedule will be largely the same, with only a few minor changes to session start times. A detailed schedule is below, but here is an overview of the weekend:
- The previously planned Wednesday dinner is canceled to accommodate the large number of swimmers who have play practice.
- The swimming will start with a Thursday evening warm-up in the competition pool at 5:15 PM (arrive 4:45 p.m.). We follow warm-up with a team dinner at the pool and an opportunity to watch some girl’s diving (see below).
- The meet itself is across two days with the events from the 200 Medley Relay through 100 Fly on Friday and the events from 100 Free through the 400 Free Relay on Saturday.
- Preliminaries are in the mornings and Finals are at night
- Prelim warm-ups will be 8:05-8:25 AM both days
- Finals warm-up will be 4:00 – 5:15 PM on Friday and 3:45 – 4:50 PM on Saturday.
- The senior parade this year will be on Friday night, not Saturday night, at 5:30 p.m.
- Our annual State Team picture will be on Friday night at 4:00 p.m. before Finals in our rugby shirts.
The VISAA is trying a very different schedule for Diving this year:
- The girls Diving Prelims and Semi-Finals (the first eight (8) dives) will be done on Thursday evening. Warm-up at 4:00 PM, competition at 5:30 PM.
- The Boys Diving Prelims and Semi-Finals will be done on Friday afternoon between the two Swimming sessions. Warm-ups at Noon, competition at 1:00 PM.
- The Girls Diving Finals (the final three (3) dives) will be the first event during the Friday night Swimming Finals. Warm-up from 2:30 to 3:50 PM, another short warm-up at 5:00 PM, competition at 5:50 PM after the senior parade.
- The Boys Diving Finals will be the first event during the Saturday night Swimming Finals. Warm-up from 2:30 to 3:50 PM, competition at 5:15 PM.
We will end the weekend with a celebration of at least one State Championships (hopefully) on Sunday at the Schroer’s House at a time to be determined

We have qualified both an “A” and a “B” Relay for all six (6) of the boys and girls Relay events, and we have a number of swimmers and divers who have qualified individually. We go to this meet to win the VISAA Division II State Championship, so we take the most competitive team possible to this meet which means that our fastest swimmers often swim all three (3) relays for which they are eligible. The implication of taking only the fastest relays possible is that, unless you’ve qualified individually, qualifying for just a relay does not guarantee that you will be on the State Team.
And remember that the Bonus 50 Free standard is only for swimmers who are otherwise qualified to swim in the meet. You cannot qualify for States simply by hitting that bonus standard.
