Women's Swim & Dive

Cal women’s swim faced both University of Arizona and Arizona State University during the same weekend for back-to-back conference dual meets Jan. 20 and Jan. 21. On paper, Cal was expected to maintain its winning streak against these two teams — the Bears are ranked 11th in the nation, whereas Arizona and Arizona State are both unranked.

The Bears were ruthless in their domination of the Spartans, winning by a final margin of 180 to 66.5.

The Bears’ fiercest, competitor No. 1 University of Texas, posted many NCAA qualifying times, but Cal women’s swim tallied up multiple championship times.

The non-scoring meet will feature swimmers from eight schools that will be given the opportunity to achieve NCAA A-level qualifying times. Cal women’s swim, now ranking No. 14 in Division I of the NCAA, will be among seven other teams competing at this invite.

Cal women’s diving team had its diving debut over the weekend at the USC Invitational. Although this program has been a point of weakness for Cal’s aquatics sports, this weekend fans caught a glimpse of what is yet to come under the new leadership of head diving coach Pei Lin.

The Bears are diving back in for their debut meet as they head down to sunny Southern California to compete in the USC Diving Invitational. Athletes from Cal along with Air Force, UCLA, Fresno State, UNLV, Pepperdine and California Baptist University will compete this weekend at the Uytengsu Aquatics Center on all three diving specialties.

No. 9 Cal women's swimming dove back into the water this past Friday for a nonconference dual meet against UC San Diego. Cal was back in action for the first time since winning their first two Pac-12 dual meets of the season in mid-October against Utah and Washington State.

Coming off of a two-week break for the Bears, Cal is set to face UC San Diego at the Canyonview Aquatic Center on Friday, November 4.

The Bears are set to swim Utah on Wednesday and Washington State on Saturday, the Bears will be looking to hold their territory against these rivals.
