2022 NCAA Swimming Conference Championships Primer – Division I

This year, things seem to be (mostly) back to normal, at least at the championship meet level. Many dual meets at the beginning of the calendar year were canceled due to COVID-19 or weather, but it looks like the big wave has passed for now. This year has a much more normal championships schedule with conference meets in February-early March and NCAA’s in March instead of some of the conference championships being canceled or in April like many had last year. 

We’ve put together a list of every conference championship in NCAA Division I here. See the Division II and Division III primers linked below. Links will be updated as they become available.
