The swimming program is designed to maximize each individual's abilities and offer a rewarding experience in college athletics. Stroke technique is stressed and swimmers are give individual attention throughout the season.
Training begins in the fall with dryland and weight training.
Water training begins early in October. The dual meet schedule includes both Division I and III colleges and universities and is designed to challenge the ability of every swimmer. Each year, during the winter break, the team takes a training trip to take long course double workouts and enjoy a break from the winter weather. Swarthmore offers one of the finest training and competition facilities. This past year with the opening of the Mullan Tennis fitness center, the college now has top of the line aerobic equipment, free weights, and top of the line MedX resistance exercise machines.
