2019 ACC Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships (with Men’s Diving)

The pre-selection, pre-cut psych sheets for the 2019 ACC Women’s Swimming & Diving Championship (and men’s diving championships) are out, and they shed virtually no light upon the upcoming meet next weekend in Greensboro.

Unlike the pre-cut SEC Championships, which were worthy of a few nuggets, if not full-blown answers to some of the biggest entry questions, ACC teams have not tipped their hands at all yet. The conference’s top 10 swimmers in every single event are all entered in those events at ACCs.

The Virginia women are the defending ACC Conference Champions. Without diving points, the Swimulator projects them, based on ‘best seeded events,’ to score the 3rd-most swimming points this year, behind Louisville and NC State. That doesn’t account for diving.

What are the squad size limits for the ACC (if any)?

I believe it’s 18 total athletes, with divers counting as 1/2. Most squads will take 2 divers and 17 swimmers.

it is 21 total athletes, only 18 of which can be swimmers (similar to how the SEC does it)

21 total. 18 swimmers. Minimum of 3 divers. Divers count as 1 swimmer and can replace a swimmer but cannot be replaced by a swimmer.

I ask because UVA currently has 20 swimmers and 3 divers entered. I guess they will make further cuts before the meet?

I stand corrected – thank you. And yes, I’m sure teams enter/bring extra swimmers to the meet, in case of illness/injury and last minute strategy decisions.

Paige Madden, UVA, not entered in the 1650, which she could have won.

Exactly my point. She has not swum a 1650 in 5 years, She’s a TON better now. I watched her go 9:50 and win the 1000 in the dual meet and she PLAYED with the heat, including Tamila. Tamila went 9:41, suited up. I think the 1650 is wide open for new ACC champion, now that Leah Smith and Hannah Moore are graduated. I believe Paige’s chance of winning the 200 back is about the same as winning the 1650.

Tamila did not suit up, only UVA kids did during the duel meet.

The only kid who did was a fourth year in his last meet ever? Rest assured none of the females did.

I’m sure she’s probably happier doing the 500 free and 200 back than the mile
