Best Men’s Swimming Schools

NCSA analyzed over 420 four-year colleges with men’s college swimming programs across four division levels (D1, D2, D3 and NAIA) to develop a list of the Best Men’s Swimming Colleges for Student-Athletes.

NCSA Power Rankings are based on proprietary analysis of NCSA Favorites data obtained from the college search activity of the over 2 million student-athletes on the NCSA recruiting network, U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges general academic rankings, and the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard graduation rates and average cost after aid.

For more information on the NCSA Power Rankings, visit our press kit or email us.
