The NCAA Division II women's swimming and diving championships are contested at an annual swim meet hosted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to determine the individual and team champions of women's collegiate swimming and diving among its Division II members in the United States and Canada. [1] It has been held every year since 1982, except for 2020.

Contents

Drury have been the most successful program, with ten national titles.

Nova Southeastern are the two-time reigning national champions, winning their second title in 2024.

History

Swimming was one of twelve women's sports added to the NCAA championship program for the 1981–82 school year, as the NCAA engaged in battle with the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women for sole governance of women's collegiate sports. The AIAW continued to conduct its established championship program in the same twelve (and other) sports; however, after a year of dual women's championships, the NCAA conquered the AIAW and usurped its authority and membership. [2]
