GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida men’s and women’s swimming and diving returns back home to the O’Dome following two consecutive road meets to host SEC foe and Tennessee at 10 a.m. Friday, with diving events beginning at 8:30 a.m. It’s the first dual meet between the schools since the 2019-20 season.
The Gators competed last Friday (Oct. 28) at Georgia to open up conference play. The women collected its first ranked win of the season over the Bulldogs 173.5-126.5, while the men’s program fell to the Georgia Bulldogs 156.0-144.0.
Florida returns back to the home waters for the first time since Sept. 23, when the Gators swept Nova Southeastern and Arkansas. Saturday’s meet against the Volunteers marks the second of four competitions at home, with the remaining two taking place in January.
Earlier this week, Skip Donald was named SEC Men’s Diver of the week, while the freshman duo of Aleksas Savickas and Zoe Dixon claimed SEC Freshman of the Week honors. Florida has earned nine weekly conference honors in three potential attempts.
Saturday’s meet will be streamed on SEC Network Plus, and times can be followed along at the MeetMobile app.
