The Big Ten championships will have a five-day meet instead of the traditional four-day meet that the conference usually hosts.

The Big Ten diving championships will be held with both genders from February 24 – 27, 2021 at Purdue University, while the women’s swimming-only championships will be the same week at the University of Minnesota — but begin on Feb. 23 — and the men’s swimming-only championships will be March 2 – 6 at The Ohio State University pending official confirmation from the OSU administration. Point totals from the diving championships will be added on to the respective men’s and women’s championship point totals.

Ohio State is the defending champion in the women’s swimming and diving championships, while Michigan is the defending champion on the men’s side, ending Indiana’s three-year winning streak.
