South Orange, N.J. – The Seton Hall men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams have announced their full schedule for the upcoming 2023-24 season. Both teams will take part in nine regular season meets leading up to the BIG EAST Championships which begin in late February.
Of those nine regular season meets, seven of them will be dual meets. The season kicks off on Oct. 7 with a road date at Rider beginning at 1 p.m. Two weeks later on Oct. 21, the Pirates will travel to Lewisburg, Pa. to participate in the Bucknell Fall Invite.
The Pirates will compete inside Arthur E. Imperatore Natatorium for the first time on Oct. 28 as they play host to Monmouth at 12 p.m. The Pirates will hold their annual Maran Lougheed Memorial Meet on this day, as they celebrate the former women’s swimmer who passed away back in 2018 at the age of 39.
