Boys Swimming & Diving Individual State Champions

State meet records are listed in bold under each event.

A note to readers: the IHSAA has attempted to list every person – individual or relay event – who has ever won a state championship since the inception of the state tournament series. Due to the vagueness of the state results in earlier years, some information is unavailable. Some of the missing information includes full names of relay members, first names of various individuals, grade in school and some diving scores. If you are able to provide verification – from a newspaper article or yearbook as an example – or you need to report an error, please contact the IHSAA at webmaster@ihsaa.org.
