Common questions
What schools are in the Empire 8 for swimming?
The Empire 8's Division III 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 Empire 8 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 Empire 8 schools that currently sponsor varsity swimming & diving.
Are Empire 8 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.
