Girls swimming & diving is open to all female athletes in grades 7-12.  All athletes train and compete together as a team. 

Our program was founded in 1979 and has been developing student-athletes focused on enriching their academic experience through teamwork and commitment ever since.  Kathy Carlson set the groundwork for the team during her 32 year coaching career that led to multiple individual state champions as well as a state runner up finish in 1997.   In recognition of her outstanding contributions to the sport, Carlson was inducted into the Minnesota Swim Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2003.

 Following in Carlson's footsteps, her eldest daughter Jenny Carlson is now the head coach and the team continues to focus on the involvement, improvement, and importance of each athlete on the team. All three Shakopee High School Swimming coaches are SHS swimming alumni, 2 of who were coached by Kathy Carlson during her time in Shakopee. They are excited to return to this program and work with all the athletes that come to our pool.
