2025-26 REWIND: NEW BLOOD, SAME TALENT

Salisbury Women's Swimming 2026 NJAC Champions

The Salisbury University men's and women's swimming teams followed up a historic 2024-25 campaign with an even better one in 2025-26, earning 12 dual-meet wins and a combined 65 All-New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) selections, including 10 individual and relay gold medals. The SU women repeated as NJAC champions, while the men's team rose to second in the league, and both squads sent record numbers of student-athletes to the NCAA Championships in March, earning All-America status in six events.

2026-27 Salisbury Men's Swimming Roster

We had talked for years with the members of our team about getting to an NCAA Championship and having the opportunity to represent Salisbury at that meet. Looking back, having achieved so much, there's a lot to build off of. The younger swimmers took good notes and are ready to step up, and I think we'll be in a similar situation continuing to fight for invitations to nationals.
