The Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) has released its preseason coaches’ polls for the 2026 boys swimming and diving season. The poll is the only one CHSAA will conduct for swimming and diving this year.
The upcoming season is set to begin on February 26 and will run through May 2. The Boys Swimming & Diving State Championships are scheduled for May 7 and 8 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton.
In Class 4A, Monarch leads the rankings, followed by Evergreen, Cheyenne Mountain, Mullen, Littleton, Glenwood Springs, Discovery Canyon, Lewis-Palmer, Mountain View, and Loveland. No other teams received votes in this class.
For Class 5A, Cherry Creek and Regis Jesuit share the top spot. Highlands Ranch is ranked third, with Fairview and Fossil Ridge rounding out the top five. Valor Christian holds sixth place; Columbine is seventh; Cherokee Trail eighth; Heritage ninth; and Grandview tenth. Arapahoe, Douglas County, Ralston Valley, and Smoky Hill also received votes but did not make the top ten.
The full list of preseason rankings was provided by CHSAA ahead of the start of competition later this month.
