Saint Peter’s Prep boasts a long tradition of swimming success dating back some 50 years. With more than three-dozen county and city championships under its belt, Prep’s swimmers and divers have accumulated more titles in the past 30 years than any other sport at the school. The team also holds a majority of the county’s swim records.

The program consistently earns a Top 20 state ranking by the Star Ledger each season.  This is another example of the way the team has made a name for itself outside of Hudson County – having earned a post-season berth in each of its last eight seasons, no easy task in what the Star Ledger refers to as “the state’s wide swath of powerful non-public swim programs.”

Prep regularly participates in Villanova’s National Catholic Championship meet – an invitational meet featuring a number of the top programs along the Eastern and Mid-Atlantic coasts — and the New Jersey Meet of Champions.
