BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - A new season looms for the Indiana Swimming and Diving program, and the Hoosiers will make their final preparations Friday at 3 p.m. ET as they host the Cream and Crimson exhibition at Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center.
Ray Looze enters his 20th season in Bloomington and 18th year leading both the men's and women's swimming programs. Head diving coach Drew Johansen is set for his eighth season in charge of Indiana divers.
Both the men's and women's programs return the majority of their rosters that finished sixth and ninth, respectively, at the 2021 NCAA Championships. Both of IU's 2021 individual national champions, divers Andrew Capobianco (men's 3M) and Tarrin Gilliland (women's platform), are back for the new campaign. For the men's team, Capobianco, Michael Brinegar and Tomer Frankel all earned experience at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games this summer.
The 2021-22 campaign officially opens Wednesday, October 6, when the Hoosiers host reigning SEC champion Kentucky and Indiana State in a tri meet at Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center, set for a 2 p.m. ET start time. Trips to Northwestern and Ohio State highlight the slate before Indiana returns to the CBAC on December 3 to close the fall portion of its schedule.
The month of January will bring four dual meets for the swimming and diving programs. The teams will be on the road at Michigan (Jan. 8) and at Louisville (Jan. 14) before finishing the regular season with home meets against Purdue (Jan. 22) and Evansville (Jan. 28).
The 2022 Big Ten Women's Swimming and Diving Championships will be held from Feb. 16-19 in Madison, Wis., hosted by the Wisconsin Badgers. The 2022 Big Ten Men's Swimming and Diving Championships will be held the following week (Feb. 23-26) in West Lafayette on the campus of Purdue.
Both the 2022 NCAA Women's and Men's Swimming and Diving Championships are set to be contested in Atlanta. The women will compete first (March 16-19) with the men heading south the following week (March 23-26). Both meets will be held at the McAuley Aquatic Center, the site of the Olympic Games Atlanta 1996 and current home of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
