The Lindenwood swimming and diving program announced the addition of 14 student-athletes for the 2022-23 season. The women’s team will bring in seven swimmers and one diver, while the men’s squad will add five swimmers and one diver.
“We are excited to welcome this diverse group to our team,” said head coach Jason Owen. “With student-athletes from four different states and four different countries including our first-ever athletes from Cuba and Iceland, we are excited to work with these athletes. They have plenty of talent and room to grow in our program. They will certainly help us to contend for our first Summit League championship in future seasons.”
This fall, the Lions will compete in the Summit League at the NCAA Division I stage. Lindenwood found great success at the NCAA Division II level. The women’s squad claimed four conference titles, including three-straight from 2016-19. In 2020-21, the women’s team secured its best finish at the NCAA Championships by taking fourth place. The men’s program collected three conference championships, and earned a second-place finish at the 2015-16 National Championships.
