The Utes will host three regular-season home meets as part of the 2025-2026 slate
SALT LAKE CITY – The University of Utah swimming and diving program has announced its complete schedule for the 2025-26 season. The Utes will host three regular season meets inside Ute Natatorium after kicking off the season with the annual alumni meet on Saturday, Oct. 11.
"I'm excited about this year," head swimming and diving coach Jonas Persson said. "It's a very purposeful schedule with meets that are great for our teams, competitive and not too taxing with travel. I think the dual meets along with the invitationals set us up for great success and will prepare us for conference championships and the national championships later on this season."
The full slate includes 20 meets for both the men's and women's programs. Along with hosting four total meets in Salt Lake City, the Utes will travel to 10 different states over the course of the season.
"We've got another really strong schedule this year," diving head coach Richard Marschner said. "We really like to challenge ourselves against some of the best in the country as we've proven that is who we compete best against. We've got a really incredible group against some incredible competition, and we hope to prove we're the best of the best."
The 2025-26 season officially gets underway when Utah travels to Green River, Wyo., on Saturday, Oct. 24 for a dual meet against Wyoming. A week later, the Utes welcome Colorado Mesa to Ute Natatorium for the official home opener on Halloween.
Utah will be out on the road for the month of November, starting with a dual meet at UNLV on Nov. 8. The diving team heads to Austin for the Texas Diving Invitational starting on Nov. 13 before the swim team travels to Dallas for the SMU Invitational on Nov. 19-22.
The diving team then heads further east to the Big Al Invitational in Princeton, N.J., on Dec. 4-6. After returning to Salt Lake City for the third-annual Utah Winter Classic on Dec. 15, the Ute divers will head to Miami for a quad meet against FIU, Florida and Miami. Utah will round out the 2025 portion of the schedule with a dual meet against Hawaii inside Ute Natatorium on Dec. 22.
The diving team will be the first to ring in the new year when they head to the UCLA Diving Invite on Jan. 8-10. The men's swim team will head to Denver for a dual meet the following day, while the women's team will compete against UCLA, Iowa and UCSB in a quad meet on Jan. 10.
Utah then heads to Tempe, Ariz., on Jan. 16 and 17 as part of the Big 12 Dual Meet Challenge before closing out the month of January with its final home meet of the season, taking on SMU on Jan. 31.
A trip to Provo on Feb. 6 wraps up the regular season for the swim team, while the diving squad rounds out regular season competition with the Last Chance Tower Meet on Valentine's Day.
Postseason competition begins with the 2026 Big 12 Swim and Dive Championships Feb. 24-28 at Greensboro Aquatics Center in Greensboro, N. C. In Utah's first ever Big 12 Championships a season ago, the men's side finished third in the conference while the women's team finished fifth.
March brings more postseason action, starting with NCAA Zone E Diving Championships on March 9-11. Up next is the CSCAA National Invitational Championship in Ocala, Fla., from March 13-15. The NCAA Swimming and Diving National Championships kick off in mid-March at the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta, Ga. The women's championships will be held from March 18-20 with the men's championships taking place the following week, from March 25-28.
