UNC, in their second season with head coach Mark Gangloff, moved up from seventh in 2020 to sixth in 2021 at the ACC Championships. They were just 11 points away from fifth place at the 2021 meet. The Tar Heels are led by junior Tomas Sungalia in the 200 free, the 2021 ACC B-final winner, while freshman Patrick Hussey leads the distance group.
