There were also one hundred teams (71 women&#8217;s teams, 19 men&#8217;s) that posted perfect 100 % GSR&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Full CSCAA Press Release Below:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">For swimmers and divers, a gold medal is the ultimate achievement.\u00a0 In the latest release of academic success among student-athletes, however, it appears that swimmers and divers are succeeding as much in the classroom as they are in the pool.<\/p>\n<p>NCAA President <strong>Mark Emmert<\/strong> cited the role of academic reforms that have helped raise overall graduation rates, but in the case of swimming and diving, student-athletes appear to be doing just fine.\u00a0 In a release on November 4th, the NCAA reported that the four-year Graduation Success Rate (GSR) for Division I college athletes has climbed to 83 percent. The performances of swimmers and divers in the classroom outpace those overall improvements.<\/p>\n<p>Swimming and diving teams four-year GSR rose to 90.1%, seven points higher than other teams and nearly 25% higher than the rest of their student peers.\u00a0\u00a0 The four-year GSR among women\u2019s teams rose a full point to 93% while men\u2019s teams stayed at 86%.\u00a0 Both men and women ranked second among sports with at least one hundred sponsoring institutions with women\u2019s lacrosse and men\u2019s tennis leading the way.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 These results reflect the culmination of swimmers and divers\u2019 classroom efforts.\u00a0 Last semester 174 women\u2019s teams and 92 men\u2019s teams earned GPA\u2019s of 3.0 or higher.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joel Shinofield<\/strong>, Executive Director of the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) attributes much of swimmers and divers\u2019 success due to their drive, the lessons they learn in the pool as well as the high expectations of their coaches.\u00a0 We know that when college students have a strong mentor and are engaged they perform better in the classroom and graduate at a higher rate. \u201cWe are finding that swimmers and divers tend to take especially rigorous course loads.\u201d\u00a0 According to Shinofield, 40% of all Division I swimmers and divers, women and men, are pursuing degrees in the STEM fields based on a survey conducted last spring.<\/p>\n<p>Swimmers and divers also continued to excel vis-\u00e0-vis the rest of the student body.\u00a0 Of 327 Division I teams, all but ten equaled or bettered the graduation rate of their student body.\u00a0\u00a0 On average, the graduation rates among men\u2019s swimmers and divers exceeded the rest of the student body by 22% while female swimmers and divers were 18.9% higher.<\/p>\n<p>Over one hundred swimming &amp; diving teams posted perfect 100% GSR\u2019s.\u00a0 These included 71 Division I Women\u2019s teams and nineteen men\u2019s teams.<\/p>\n<p>Full details of the NCAA report can be found at: <a href=\"http:\/\/cscaa.us11.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=4431f0555af57dfc9f32bb291&amp;id=f4b8206d3c&amp;e=44093f9abd\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.ncaa.org\/about\/<wbr \/>resources\/media-center\/news\/<wbr \/>graduation-success-rate-<wbr \/>continues-climb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The complete list of Swimming &amp;
