The National Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association (NISCA) creates and publishes All America lists for Swimming, Paralympic Swimming, Diving, Water Polo, Academic and Scholar Team.
In order to be placed on an All America list, an application must be submitted on the NISCA website. In some cases, accompanying materials may also be required. The final deadline for application is June 15th at 11:59pm EDT. The final application deadline for All America diving has passed (May 25th). Any accompanying materials must be postmarked by June 15th to be accepted. Late fees may apply. NISCA members can submit their applications free, all others will pay a non-member application fee.
Each program has an “applications processed” list on their page. If you think you should be on an All America list please CHECK to make sure that your name appears. If it does not, either there is a problem with your application, or it was not submitted. Reach out to the program coordinator listed on the page with questions.
The lists are published on the NISCA Website in mid-July.
