ATHENS, Ga. – The University of Georgia swimming and diving programs announced their 2025-26 competition schedule Thursday evening.

Georgia’s home schedule features the annual Georgia Fall Invitational and three dual meets in January. The Bulldogs will also compete in a brand-new dual meet tournament and travel to Florida for an annual meeting with the Gators, along with staying in-state for the NCAA Championships.

The Georgia men open the season with a trip to UNC Wilmington on Friday, Sept. 12 before the full team begins its season against South Carolina on Wednesday, Oct. 8 in Columbia. The following weekend, Georgia will join seven schools at Georgia Tech for The Dual Meet Tournament, a three-day event full of competition and excitement. Following the Florida meet on Oct. 30-31 in Gainesville, the Bulldogs will begin home competition at the Georgia Fall Invitational, running Nov. 19-21 at Gabrielsen Natatorium.

After the diving team closes out 2025 at the Auburn Diving Invitational, the home dual meet season begins against Florida State and Arkansas (women’s only) on Saturday, Jan. 10. Tennessee comes to town for its annual clash on Jan. 24, followed by Emory on Senior Day on Jan. 31.

Georgia will begin postseason competition at the SEC Championships in Knoxville, Tennessee, followed by the Bulldog Invitational/Last Chance Meet. The Bulldogs will not have to travel far for NCAA action with Georgia Tech’s McAuley Aquatic Center hosting the Zone B Diving Championships (March 8-11), Women’s Championships (March 18-21), and Men’s Championships (March 25-28).

In addition to Georgia team events, selected student-athletes will compete in the World Aquatics World Cup in Carmel, Indiana (Oct. 10-12) and the U.S. Open in Austin, Texas (Dec. 3-6).
