Where Are The 2024 Power 5 Conference Meets?

We are nearing the beginning of the 2023-2024 NCAA swimming & diving season, with dual meets and intrasquads set to kick off around the country in the next month or so. 

Although the conference championship season is months away, we’ve compiled where and when the Power 5 conferences are holding their respective meets this season. 

This is the final year of competition before the major conference realignments take shape, meaning there isn’t  any changes in terms of who is competing where in the Power 5. The Big 12 did add three teams for this season including  BYU, Houston, and Cincinnati.

The meet structures will also remain consistent, with the SEC, ACC, and Big 12 continuing to host combined meets.

Besides conference realignment, another notable change for future years is that the SEC has tightened its host requirements for a number of sports, including swimming & diving. Natatoriums will now need to have a spectator capacity of 1200, which is an increase by 200 from the old requirements. 

Auburn is the host for the 2024 SEC Championships, however, they will be unable to host future conference meets due to the new requirements.
