About

Watching our swimmers and divers succeed—and overcome barriers—is what drives this program forward. Every breakthrough in the pool, every personal best, every moment of resilience reminds us why we do this work. We're not just building competitive athletes; we're inspiring self-starters who carry that determination far beyond the pool deck and into life.

This past season, our Vikings proved what's possible when talent meets opportunity. At the Midwest Conference Championships, our divers reached the podium with multiple top-three finishes, and our swimmers pushed through to A finals, representing Lawrence with pride and grit. Year after year, our student-athletes demonstrate that excellence in the classroom and in competition go hand in hand.

Your support makes all of this possible. It provides the equipment our athletes need to train at the highest level. It keeps us competitive with programs across the conference. It ensures that when our student-athletes step up to the blocks, they have every tool they need to succeed—not just as competitors, but as leaders.

Thank you for believing in our Vikings. Thank you for investing in their growth, their dreams, and their futures.

Will he take the plunge?

If you're keeping up with Swim and Dive on Instagram, you've seen that Vice President of Student Life Chris Clarke has agreed to take the plunge off the high dive -- but only if you raise $10,000 by midnight tonight. You've blasted through two donor goals. Can you keep it going?

Update: New Donor Goal

Swim & Dive fans, you have blown us out of the water with your participation! Since you've crushed your participation goal, we're raising the stakes. Can you reach your new stretch goal and get to 60 donors? That would double your original goal. Show us what you can do!
