Where is the 2026 NCAA DI women's swimming championship?
Competition between the top swimmers and divers in the nation will hosted by Georgia Tech at the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta, GA.
For the first time since 2022, the Flats will welcome the NCAA DI women's swimming and diving championship, marking the third-ever time hosting the event. The historic aquatic center is no stranger to the big stage, originally built for the 1996 Olympics.
How the field is selected
Swimmers qualified for the championships either by winning their conference championship in an event with an established minimum time in that swim or by meeting the established minimum time for the events in which they entered. The invited divers earn their automatic spot at zone meets in the weeks prior. In total, the meet has a limit of 322 athletes divided equally by 21 events (18 swimming and three diving).
