Common questions
What schools are in the Big Ten for swimming?
The Big Ten's Division I swimming & diving programs are listed above. A conference's swim league is a subset of its full athletic membership, so this list includes only the schools that currently sponsor varsity swimming.
Do all Big Ten schools have a swim team?
No. A conference's swim league is usually smaller than its full membership, and some schools field a men's or women's team but not both. This page lists only the Big Ten schools that currently sponsor varsity swimming & diving.
Are Big Ten championship times recruiting cuts?
No. A championship place time shows what happened at one meet in one season. A coach's needs can change by event and class. Check current roster times, then ask the coach what they need.
