SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY AT CARBONDALE SALUKIS WOMEN'S SWIMMING & DIVING

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, founded in 1869 and home to 11,785 students, fields its women's swimming and diving program within the Missouri Valley Conference at the Division I level. Competing during the winter season, the Salukis represent one of the university's longest-standing athletic traditions in a sport that demands both technical precision and year-round conditioning. The program operates from the Carbondale campus in southern Illinois, where it recruits student-athletes from across the region to develop competitive swimmers and divers capable of performing at the NCAA Division I standard.

The women's program trains and competes as part of SIU's comprehensive athletic department, which balances academics with competitive excellence across multiple sports. Swimmers and divers on the Salukis roster work within the Missouri Valley Conference structure, facing conference opponents throughout the winter calendar while pursuing individual and team qualification standards for NCAA postseason competition. Like other programs competing in the MVC, the Salukis participate in a conference that encompasses schools across the Midwest and South, requiring travel and adaptation to varying pool facilities and competitive environments throughout the season.
