NOTRE DAME, Ind. – The University of Notre Dame men’s and women’s swimming and diving program has announced the 2016-17 schedule.

Second-year head coach Mike Litzinger will oversee both the men’s and women’s program as they compete as one unit for the first time since 1995.

Litzinger and his staff are excited for a schedule that has the team getting an early season start.
“I am excited to be leading the new look Notre Dame Swimming & Diving team,” Litzinger said. “Being combined for the first time in 20-plus years adds to the energy both of our teams have generated in 2016.”

The team will get started by travelling to East Lansing, Michigan to face Michigan State and Iowa on Sept. 30 at the Charles McCaffree Pool.

The home season kicks off at the Rolfs Aquatic Center on Oct. 7 for the traditional Dennis Stark Relays. Named for the first head coach of both teams, this year’s meet will be the 51st of its kind. The busy fall season will also include the 100th Anniversary of the Monogram Club weekend with a home meet versus Miami, Purdue and Rutgers on Oct. 28.

Two away meets in November include a trip to Greensboro, South Carolina for the Greensboro Invitational on Nov. 17-19 at the Greensboro Aquatic Center, giving the team a chance to swim where the 2017 ACC Championships will be held.

Another highlight of the new year will be the Shamrock Invitational meet, which will include Ohio State, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Missouri State and Grand Canyon. The two-day event is scheduled for Jan. 27-28 and will be the biggest meet the Irish host at home in this season.
