Swimming and Diving Stats
The NCAA Statistics Department is now recognizing all-time, all-meet swimming and diving records for each of the three divisions of membership. For a mark to be considered an NCAA record, the performance must take place in a meet listed on an institution’s approved competition schedule.
Rare exceptions in meets sanctioned by USA Swimming and Diving that follow NCAA rules and regulations are also considered. The swimmer(s) must be representing their institution in the meet in which the record is set and cannot be swimming unattached. The times must also be vetted and approved by the NCAA Swimming and Diving Secretary-Rules Editor in order to be considered valid.
You can access the all-time, all-meet swimming and diving records via the Statistics Dept. records book page on NCAA.org or directly via the following url:
http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/ncaa/resources/stats/swimming+and+diving/rbindex.html.
Please share this information with your swimming and diving coaches as well.
