2025 Women’s NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships

The 2025 Women’s Division I NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships begin tomorrow night with the 200 medley relay and 800 freestyle relay. Most teams made the trip out to Seattle on Sunday or Monday. Some teams had 17 hour travel days, and the 4x defending champions of Virginia flew on a charter jet.

Since arriving, a few teams did some sight seeing. Florida’s Jojo Ramey even caught a fish while at the Seattle Public Market.

See the adventures as shown on social media below.

I’d love to see the SwimSwam team’s version. I hope you all have matching sweats.

Nothing says class like criticizing the appearance of happy young women.

He took a puddle jumper to Washington, D.C. and is flying first class on a Boeing 767 non-stop to Seattle, WA. Head coach status has its privileges.

NCAA rules don’t give much travel time.

I hated flying on the Embraer Jets. The seats have practically no padding, so it’s sitting on a piece of plywood.
