02/20/25 – Updated Time Schedule for State Swimming & Diving Finals

Athletic Department Blog Updates

The KHSAA staff has worked with the University of Kentucky and our lead meet officials to adjust the time schedule for the 2025 KHSAA State Swimming & Diving Finals presented by UK HealthCare.

All girls’ swimming and diving events will now take place on Friday, February 21, and all boys’ swimming and diving events on Saturday, February 22. Adjustments were made to the time schedule to ensure that athletes are not swimming earlier than originally scheduled on Friday or Saturday than the original schedule.

The girls’ and boys’ swimming prelims have no changes to the time schedule between events. Be advised that the gender-specific diving competition has been adjusted to fit between the swimming prelims and finals, which did alter the swimming finals start times to a slightly later time. While this may result in facility attendance issues, we believe that in the end, the schedule adjustments will work to accommodate all involved.
