Division III Heidelberg University to Add Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Swimming in 2023-24<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heidelberg University, a Division III school in Ohio, will add men\u2019s and women\u2019s swimming for the 2023-24 academic year, it announced on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Athletic Director Greg Cooper<\/strong> made the announcement of adding swimming, to go with esports.<\/p>\n

“We are excited to welcome three new teams and two new sports to Heidelberg,” Cooper said in a university press release<\/a>.\u00a0 “Our administration has identified these sports as opportunities for strategic growth for the university.”<\/p>\n

Heidelberg will compete in the Ohio Athletic Conference, the sixth team to sponsor swimming. (Among them is John Carroll, which finished ninth at the 2022 NCAA Division III Championships<\/a>.) They will bring Heidelberg\u2019s total to 23 varsity programs.<\/p>\n

Heidelberg will swim out of Tiffin YMCA. The university used to have a varsity program in the early 1980s, and it has sponsored a vibrant club team in the decades since.<\/p>\n

“Men’s and Women’s Swimming will fit in well here with the proximity to an already existing high-quality facility and the number of schools in and around the area that already sponsor the sport,” Cooper said. “The access to excellent competition was also a factor as it is an OAC-sponsored sport.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
