St. Francis students have the opportunity to improve themselves outside the classroom as leaders and athletes. As members of the swimming and diving team, students can learn the value of teamwork, sportsmanship, and spirituality. The St. Francis Aqua Knights won 47 straight Northwest Ohio District Championships (1966 – 2008), setting a national record and won the TRAC conference championship in 2013.
