The 2025-2026 NCAA Swimming and Diving season is here. Some of the top teams have already been in action as Texas swam in an intrasquad this past weekend while Virginia traveled to Navy for an exhibition meet.
This week, numerous programs will have their own intrasquads such as Pitt, Ohio State, and UCLA. Some of the top teams competing in official dual meets include Louisville as they race Xavier on Saturday while Arizona State will host UNLV on Friday.
Arizona State has already had a busy fall, suiting up in practice and hosting their own intrasquad meet of international swimmers vs swimmers from the US. Ilya Kharun has already posted a 19.84 flat start in the 50 fly and a 44.15 in the 100 fly.
SwimSwam’s Top 25 Power Rankings will be coming out soon so stay tuned for that list.
Note: Many members of the SwimSwam staff have searched websites to compile this list. Not all schools have schedules posted yet (still waiting on ~15 schools) and meets are occasionally added/removed after this list is compiled. Some schools also have conflicting data ie, one school posts the meet being X date while the other posts Y date.

It’s finally time! Seems like last year was more about conference realignment and how teams would be adjusting to that. This year appears to be more focused more on the actual meets and swims that take place. Can’t wait to see how the season progresses.
I THINK SMU men’s team vs. Incarnate Word is on Friday, Sept. 3rd, as per both teams websites — and not on the 4th of October.
So you are saying the SMU v IW meet was swum a month ago? Do you mean Friday, OCTOBER 3rd?
