CHICAGO, Ill. -- We are now two months away from the opening meet of the 2025-26 men's and women's swimming and diving season for the University of Chicago, which means it's time to break down the schedule. The full men's schedule can be seen HERE, and the full women's schedule can be seen HERE.

The Maroons open the 2025-26 campaign on Friday, October 24, hosting Lewis University at the Myers-McLoraine Pool. The next afternoon, UChicago stages a tri meet on October 25, welcoming Illinois Tech and Wheaton (IL) to Hyde Park.

One week later, the Maroons head to St. Louis for a marquee road dual against UAA foe WashU on Saturday, November 1. UChicago then returns home for its first signature event of the season with the D3 Shootout on November 7-8.

The mid-season test arrives at the Phoenix Fall Classic—a three-day home invitational set for November 21-23—offering a deep, championship-style slate in the final meet before Thanksgiving and winter break.

Competition resumes in January with a high-profile homestand featuring three consecutive home dual meets at the Myers-McLoraine Pool. Northwestern visits on Saturday, January 10, followed by UIC on Friday, January 16, and Calvin on Saturday, January 17. The month of January then concludes on the road at Hope on Saturday, January 31 in Holland, Michigan.

The championship season begins at home as UChicago hosts the UAA Championships at the Myers-McLoraine Pool from February 11-14. The following week brings the Midwest Invitational in Chicago on February 20-21, a final tune-up before the postseason. Divers will then head to NCAA Diving Regionals on February 27-28.

The year culminates at the NCAA Division III Championships at the IU Natatorium in Indianapolis, Indiana, from March 18-21, as the Maroons look to improve on their third- and seventh-place finishes from last season.

All in all, the men's team will take on a trio of top-11 foes, including Division II No. 7 Lewis and Division III No. 8 WashU and No. 11 Calvin. The women's team will battle three top-20 opponents, including No. 9 Hope, No. 12 Calvin, and No. 20 WashU.

We hope to see you at the Ratner Athletic Center on Friday, October 24, as UChicago opens the 2025-26 home campaign against Lewis.
