“Making Waves: No. 24 Swim & Dive Kicks Off 2025 at UCSD-Wisconsin Tri-Meet!”

LOS ANGELES – The No. 24 UCLA swim and dive squad returns to competition this weekend with a tri-meet against UC San Diego and No. 12 Wisconsin at UC San Diego. The event is scheduled to commence at 11 a.m. PT, with real-time results available on MeetMobile($).

This meet signifies the Bruins’ (1-0) second non-invitational event of the season and their first action since mid-December when they clinched first place at the FINIS UNLV Invitational.

As they approach Saturday’s contest, UCLA holds a perfect 5-0 record against UC San Diego, while they are 0-1 against their new Big Ten rival Wisconsin.

Two teams from the three participating in the dual will be ranked prior to the meet, as Wisconsin stands at No. 12, and UCLA is placed at No. 24 in the most recent College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) rankings.

UCLA has achieved first place in every event they have entered this season with one exception, triumphing in the five-team Fresno State Invitational before notching their only dual meet victory thus far by defeating Arizona, 189-106, on senior day at the Spieker Aquatics Center.

Following those impressive outcomes, the Bruins secured a fourth-place standing at the Ohio State Invitational. The field included three teams ranked in the top 15 at that time, in addition to UCLA.

After participating in the Ohio State Invitational, the Bruins traveled to Las Vegas for the FINIS UNLV Invitational. There, the Bruins concluded the 2024 portion of the season strongly, achieving first in the six-team competition.

Throughout the fall segment of the season, the Bruins have showcased numerous exceptional performances, with 14 Bruins meeting NCAA “B” cut standards across 10 different events.
