Spring
Swimming
The opening of the Emmett Horowitz Aquatic center in 2010 marked a new era for Cate swimming.
The state of the art facility is now home to a rapidly growing aquatics program and has been instrumental in boosting the overall success of our swimmers. The girls and boys teams participate in the highly competitive Tri-Valley League, home to many of the top small school swimmers in the section.
The boys team celebrated the School’s first ever Top 10 CIF finish in 2015 and both the girls and boys programs have had CIF finalists in multiple events each year since 2010.
