Swimming World Magazine has been naming high school national champions since 1971, when Santa Clara earned the boys title. Then, in 1976, Swimming World Magazine began honoring both a boys and girls team with Jacksonville Episcopal winning for the boys and Upper Dublin taking home the girls title.

The following year, in 1977, the publication expanded even further to include prep school winners. Mission Viejo began seven-year reign as the boys public school winner, while The Peddie School garnered the first prep school crown. On the girls side, Mission Viejo started a 10-year streak of winning the girls title.

In 1982, four separate titles were awarded for the first time. The aforementioned Mission Viejo pocketed the boys and girls public school honors, while Mercersburg and The Peddie School snared the boys and girls independent school trophies, respectively.

In 1987, the editorial staff decided to combine the titles in the boys and girls categories to award an overall titlist for both the boys and girls schools. That year, Mercersburg won the first overall boys title, while Germantown Academy captured the first overall girls title, as both schools represented the independent division well.
