2025-26 Salisbury Men's Swimming Roster

This year's theme for both programs is #NewBlood, which hits on the new goals and aspirations that we're chasing. One of the things we talk about is to 'defend nothing, attack everything.' We're setting our sights on something higher and bigger than we did last year. What new heights can we accomplish this year?
