The SRJC Women's Swim and Dive Team is the most decorated team in SRJC school history with six state titles to their name. The team has been in existence for over 40 years, and the last 11 seasons have been their most successful in school history. They compete for the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) and belong to the Big Eight Conference, the most competitive conference in California, and arguably one of the fastest conferences in the nation. In the final CCCAA state rankings, the Bear Cubs have finished in the top three 7 out of the last 14 seasons; in the top five, 13 out of the last 14 seasons, and they have finished in the top 10, 10 every year McCormick has coached. During that time they have also captured four conference titles and have finished in the top three 10 times.

The SRJC women have become a perennial power house in CCCAA Swimming & Diving and along with the four state titles they have won since 2000, they have produced 21 national champions, 23 state champions, three state records, 33 new school records, and numerous conference champions and meet records.  In 2009 the SRJC women's team set new state records in both the 200 and the 400 Medley Relays.  In 2012, Alexandria Holland was named the CCCAA Female Swimmer of the Year winning all three of her events; and in 2013, after winning two more events during her sophomore season, she set a new state record in the 100 IM as well.  SRJC's women's team was named the Big 8 Conference Swim & Dive Scholar Team of the Year in 2010.

Recently, between our men's and women's teams, we have had over 50 swimmers and divers transfer on scholarship to the four-year level, 21 of which have been to Division I schools. During the past 10 seasons, our teams have produced over 120 All American and All Conference athletes and over 100 All Academic Team members as well. 

It is our mission to produce student-athletes willing to develop a high degree of self-worth and autonomy, a commitment to pursue academic and athletic excellence, a servitude to their community, and a willingness to overcome adversity.
