Get Ready to Dive In: Women’s NCAA Swimming & Diving Championship Tickets Now Available; Men’s Tickets Splash Down This Tuesday!

Tickets for the 2025 NCAA Women’s Division I Swimming & Diving Championships are currently available for purchase. All-session passes can be obtained for $130 for the event at the Weyerhauser King County Aquatic Center located near Seattle. This price remains unchanged from last year.

Although the prime seats along the center of the 25-yard competition course have sold out, or only had ADA accessible options remaining, there are still numerous seats available at the far edges of the natatorium, including some located at the starting end of the pool.

The KCAC ranks among the largest permanent natatoriums in the nation, hosting 2,500 seats for spectators along its entire layout and will accommodate both the men’s and women’s championships.

The last occasion Federal Way hosted an NCAA Championship event was in 2012, when the grandstand was significantly underpopulated. Over the past decade, sellouts (or near sellouts) have become the standard, often with tickets being sold out before they even become available to the general public. Teams have priority access to tickets for the meet, and the top teams are assigned the best seating.

Pro Tip: although there is designated seating for the NCAA Championships, ticket checks are infrequent and many individuals purchase tickets but do not attend certain events. Even if your designated seat seems subpar, keep an eye out for an opening or position yourself behind premium seats for an improved view.

This year’s meets are anticipated to draw a better crowd, though one coach who participated in a club event at the venue last weekend expressed some reservations. The coach mentioned that two out of the three air exchangers intended to ensure a supply of fresh air into the pool have malfunctioned, with the remaining one operating at only 33%, which could jeopardize future events at the facility if urgent repairs are not sanctioned.
