The event consists of individual and team championships in a range of events, all held in a 25-yard pool.[1]

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

History edit

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]
