Gators Swim and Dive NCAA Qualifiers Announced

With NCAA Diving Zone Championships finished and swimming qualifiers announced, Gators swimming and diving has all eyes on the NCAA Championships.

Gators men

Fifteen men’s swimmers qualified for the 2025 NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships. Only two schools have more qualifying swimmers, with California and Texas each having 18. The Gators won five national championships at last year’s NCAA Championships but finished third overall.

Of the Gators headed to the NCAA Championships, Josh Liendo is one to keep an eye on. Liendo won the national championships in the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, and 100 fly last year. Liendo qualified for all three events in this year’s championships and will try to defend his title in a few weeks.

Two men’s divers qualified for the NCAA Championships during Zone Championships. Since diving scoring isn’t standardized across the country, regional championships are used to determine which divers qualify for the NCAA Championships. Jesus Gonzalez qualified for all three diving events, Peyton Donald qualified in springboard and Conor Gesing qualified for springboard.
