The NCAA announced the A and B qualifying standards for the 2020-21 Division I Swimming and Diving Championships. The women’s meet will be held in Greensboro, North Carolina while the men’s meet will be in Iowa City, Iowa. None of the events had any change in the cuts from last season, likely due to the fact that the 2020 NCAA swimming and diving championships ultimately did not happen in order to slow down the coronavirus outbreak.

Based on the psych sheet, the Virginia women and Texas men were seeded to win the championships in 2020, and they will have strong teams in place next season to try and replicate that in 2021.

The full PDF document of the cuts can be viewed here.
