College swimming season is finally here. So far, there have been numerous dual meets and a lot of intrasquads, but things really pick up this week.
Schedules are also still coming out so the lineup of meets below is the schedule SwimSwam has been able to compile so far based on what schools have made available.
Just as there were several dual meets canceled or postponed due to COVID-19 last season, we already have our first postponement this season (although not due to COVID-19). Meets scheduled to take place at the University of North Florida this weekend have been postponed due to the threat of Hurricane Ian.
Highlighting the dual meet schedules are Georgia, Missouri, and Arizona State. In addition, Howard is setting out to host the biggest HBCU meet ever this weekend. The team will take on Georgetown.
Not to be outdone, multiple top 12 teams that we did previews on this past month will be having intrasquads this weekend. Some of those teams include Virginia, Indiana, and Ohio State (an alumni meet).
Other top teams also competing this week include Alabama, as the women take on Arkansas, and Minnesota, which will race an intrasquad.

NC state inter squad is this Friday
We all need to keep a ‘heads up” to see if Hurricane Ian causes a schedule change in the ASU v Georgia v Missouri meet scheduled for this weekend.
FIU vs. UMiami
Good picture of Luca
I think the IM between ASU featuring Marchand and Georgia featuring Urlando should give us some feel for the IM times that are needed to be competitive at NCAAs. It is seldom that two top swimmers in IM meet so early in the season.
1:37 won the 2 IM last year and I think 1:40 or better made the A final. I’d say we have a pretty good idea what you’ll need to go to be competitive.
VT vs. GWU vs. Ohio University, not Ohio State.
Looks like they forgot powerhouse Niagara University’s Alumni meet…
