BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Cal State Bakersfield Director of Swimming & Diving Eric Bugby has introduced the upcoming Roadrunner Swimming & Diving schedules for the 2025-26 season because the groups seems to be ahead to a different profitable season.  This upcoming season CSUB will compete in two invitationals and 5 duals.

Bugby is heading into his first season because the Director of Swimming and mentioned the technique behind the schedule: “The meet schedule has to match the training plan so we’ve made a few adjustments to accommodate our different cycles especially when I want them at their best in January and February.”

Bugby talked in regards to the in depth journey the staff has deliberate and his expectations for the way his squads will adapt to new environments heading into the Big West Championships: “Most swimmers and divers are used to traveling all over the country for meets.  They can adapt to their environment fairly quickly.  I think we’re all excited to see how the season unfolds and where we can continue to make improvements.”  

The Women’s NCAA Championships meet might be hosted in Atlanta from Mar. 18-21, whereas the Men’s National Championships might be held Mar. 25-28. Bugby may also be seeking to ship some `Runners to the National Invitational Championships as effectively.
