Swimming & Diving

663 US Colleges sponsor varsity Swimming teams:

Swimming is an equivalency sport for NCAA limits, so partial scholarships can be awarded as long as the combined equivalent awards do not exceed the limit. For example, an NCAA II school could award 16 women swimmers each a 1/2 equivalent scholarship and not exceed the limit of 8.1 per team.  For more information see our page on scholarship limits.

* Effect of House v NCAA proposed NIL settlement on Swimming:

​As part of the House v. NCAA proposed settlement, scholarship limits for Division I sports will be eliminated and roster limits will apply instead. Beginning in the 2025-26 season, NCAA I Swimming teams would have a roster limit of 30 swimmers, all of whom would be eligible for full scholarships. However, scholarship awards are discretionary, schools can elect to fully fund a sport, partially fund or provide no athletic scholarships.

Additionally, under the proposed settlement NCAA I schools will be allowed to share athletic revenues with their varsity athletes up to an initial cap of $ 20.5 million per year.  The following table is an estimate of how 2025-26 revenue sharing would likely be allocated for the average NCAA I Power conference school:

Football and Men’s basketball account for over 90% of team specific revenues at most Power Conference schools, and athletes on these two teams will be the major beneficiaries under the revenue sharing model. These are averages per athlete. In actuality, a few players per team will receive substantially higher than the average, while many will get much less. For players who see little if any playing time, their revenue sharing will also likely be little or none.

These estimates are for schools in the four Power conferences. Revenue sharing allocations for other NCAA I Schools will significantly lower – see our page on NCAA revenue sharing for Swimming Teams on our sister site NIL-NCAA.com for additional information.

Odds of a High School Swimmer competing in College:

These are the odds of a random US high school swimmer making a college roster – odds are adjusted for foreign student athlete participation. Actual odds are likely better for most athletes motivated to play in college due to several factors: High school participation includes multi-sport athletes who typically play only one sport in college, many high school athletes do not intend to compete at the college level, and unfortunately, a significant portion of high school students –  including athletes – do not go on to college.  See our page on the odds of competing in college for more information.

Do you have the skills to compete in College Swimming?

What level of athlete are coaches looking for and who are you competing with for a roster spot? A good way to get an idea is to look at the high-school bios of athletes currently on the roster of schools that interest you.
