2021 NCAA Conference Championships Primer – Division II

It’s February, which means it’s college swimming and diving conference championship season! It’s been a year of change – but one certainty you can count on is SwimSwam’s NCAA conference championship primer. Some conferences have canceled their championship meets because of COVID; others have postponed them until the spring; still others are carrying on as planned but without spectators.

We’ve done our best to include every meet, but it’s a changing landscape and we may have some omissions. Feel free to let us know if we have missed a meet so that we can add it below.

Check out our other conference primers as links become available:

You can bookmark this page to get continuing information on each conference championships, as we’ll be adding links to live results, live video, championship central sites and more as they become available.

Did they change how a swimmer qualifies for Div 2 national championships? I heard you have to be top 16 nationally in 1 event to even go to the meet.
