Many of the most dominant NCAA programs lead the medal table from the 2024 Paris Olympics with swimmers and NCAA ties. Stanford leads the way with seven gold medals total, all from the women’s side, while Virginia sits in 2nd with five golds, also all from the women’s side.
The data considers the last school the swimmer is expected to swim for in the NCAA based on current knowledge:
- Leon Marchand has gone pro so Arizona State will be his last NCAA school
- Transfers such as Hubert Kos and Matt King are considered under their new school
- Future commits are considered despite not arriving at the school (see: Claire Weinstein and Alex Shackell under Cal).
- Relays are considered each time an athlete from the school earned a medal (Kate Douglass, Emma Weber, and Gretchen Walsh count towards 3 golds for Virginia from the women’s 4×100 medley relay)

The most entertaining part of these articles is the surprise universities lower on the list that I didn’t even realize had Olympians competing. Also, we must have underestimated all of the AP Latin, Data Analytics, and Bioorganic Chemistry classes Thomas Heilman has taken to already be racking up college credit.
I think that the method used to assign swimmers to schools may be flawed. Hubert Kos did his NCAA swimming for the last two years at ASU. He only trained at Texas for the two months leading up to Texas, has never competed in NCAA for Texas, yet is not counted for ASU. Conversely both Regan Smith and Simone Manual have trained at ASU with the pro group for the past two years yet are counted for their prior NCAA teams which they not swam with for several years. This is not consistent!
Incredible to see the top 3 are all ACC schools! That conference truly brings out the best in all of its student-athletes!
Isn’t this stolen valor, since none of the achievements for Stanford or Cal occurred while members of the ACC?
Matt King for Indiana? He has still to ever set foot on the campus.
An article for most successful clubs/training groups would be interesting.
Top 2 in the US are def Bowman’s group in Texas and Nesty’s in Florida
That should be Bowman’s group now in Texas as up to May Coach Bowman and the entire group were at ASU for the past several years.

How about by US Swimming club?
