The Wolf Pack competed in their inaugural season during the 2016-17 school year, and made quite a statement in the NAIA. The women’s team finished 14th, and the men 15th, at the 2017 NAIA National Championships. The women’s team scored three relays (one was DQd) and had individual top-16 performances from freshmen Nina Mantich, Mallory Adair, and Paige Carter. Four men’s relays scored, as did freshmen Cole Moreno, Trey James, John Tarpey, and Timothy Buisson.
An affiliate member of the Mid-South Conference, Loyola joined Bethel (Tenn.), Campbellsville (Ky.), Cumberlands (Ky.), Life (Ga.), Lindenwood-Belleville (Ill.) and Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) as Mid-South schools that sponsor swimming.
