When the NCAA cancelled its winter championships last month due to the coronavirus that has affected the entire world, it was a huge blow to all involved. Coaches and athletes would miss out on seeing their hard work pay off, left to wonder what could have been. Fans of swimming missed out on seeing records, a tight team race – all the things that make the NCAAs so enjoyable. Florida sophomore Kieran Smith was an athlete who many were itching to see. In February at the SEC Championships, Smith broke the American record in the 500 freestyle with a 4:06.32. The night before, he led off ...

Year 2 of the International Swimming League is scheduled to begin in September (though, all things scheduled at the moment are prone to being rescheduled due to the global coronavirus pandemic). With a jump from 8 to 10 teams in the 2020-2021 league, and an expansion from 7 meets to 27, there is going to be a dramatic rise in the need for athletes to fill rosters in the new season. In year 1, teams were limited to 32 swimmers (16 male and 16 female) on their rosters, though most teams wound up announcing more athletes than that. In year 2, with more meets probably resulting in more c ...

2020 NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming & Diving Championships The NCAA has released its official psych sheets (along with the invite line) for the 2020 Men’s NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships. The meet itself will take place in two weeks, from March 25-28 in Indianapolis. Athletes who are invited are able to swim extra events where they have a B cut – those are the entrants below the invite line on the official psych sheets.

It’s been a good week for Michael Andrew ‘s butterfly. The 20-year-old hit personal bests in both the 100-meter and 100-yard butterfly within eight days, thanks to this morning’s 51.49 meter swim. Andrew qualified first at the Des Moines Pro Swim Series, shaving .04 off of his career-best with a finals swim still to go. Just last Friday, Andrew knocked half a second off his 100-yard fly best, going 45.47 at the Carlsbad Sectional. The versatile Andrew is still paring down his lineup for this summer’s U.S. Olympic Trials.

Drew Kibler started his first NCAA championships by leading off the very first event of the meet. The Texas freshman and his Longhorn teammates went on to win the NCAA title in the 800 free relay and break the American record in the event. What an opening statement. But that is not where Kibler’s mind was. “It is hard to describe the feeling of leading off the 800 free relay as a freshman, going against seven seniors,” Drew Kibler told Swimming World . “Winning the relay was really good, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of not going as fast as I was hoping.
