The women finished fourth last year at the meet, one which had long course finals for the Olympic year. Grace Brenneman broke the school record in the 50 free (25.97), while Madelyn Christman had top-12 finishes in both the 100 and 200 back. Both women return this year for the Irish.Notre Dame kicks off 2025 with a trip south to West Lafayette to face Purdue and Kentucky on Jan. 10.

The Kentucky women finished ninth in the SEC last year. The regular season slate concludes with the Tim Welsh Classic, welcoming Ohio State, Wisconsin, Akron and Indiana State to Rolfs Aquatics Center for Senior Day on Jan. 24-25. The postseason starts for the Irish with the Ohio State Winter Invite from Feb. 14-16 and ACC Championships from February 18-22 in Greensboro, N.C. The women’s team finished seventh in the conference last season, while the men were second. Nguyen notched his first ACC medal last year, finishing third in the platform. Before NCAA Championships, the divers will head to Zone C Diving Championships from March 13-15. The location will be determined at a later date. The season ends with the NCAA Championships for both the men’s divers and women’s swimmers and divers in Federal Way, Wash.
