Division I Mid-Major

NCAA Division I mid-major programs offer an elite swimming experience, combining rigorous athletic training with strong academic resources and supportive campus environments. While competing at the Division I level, mid-majors often provide more individualized attention, and a close-knit team culture compared to larger Power 4 programs.

These teams compete fiercely at conference championships and regularly send swimmers to NCAA Nationals and U.S. Olympic Trials. Universities like UC San Diego, Denver, Florida Gulf Coast, and Oakland have produced conference champions and national-level competitors, proving that high-caliber swimming thrives well outside the Power 4 spotlight.

For student-athletes seeking top-tier racing opportunities, tailored development, meaningful scholarship support, and the chance to balance academics with high-level swimming, Division I mid-major programs offer a compelling path to excel both in the pool and the classroom.
