Notre Dame to Reinstate Men\u2019s Swimming in 2025-26<\/strong><\/p>\n

Notre Dame on Wednesday announced<\/a> it will reinstate its men\u2019s swimming and diving team in 2025 after a year-long suspension.<\/p>\n

The program was under investigation for what it had termed \u201cculture issues\u201d in the summer<\/a> before a one-year suspension handed down in August for gambling within the program. The suspension was then denoted as being<\/a> for \u201cat least\u201d the 2024-25 season, but Wednesday\u2019s announcement brings a finite return date.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the course of the last year, our men\u2019s swimming team has taken the critical and necessary steps to correct the issues that led to the suspension of the program this past summer,\u201d athletic director Pete Bevacqua<\/strong> said in a statement. \u201cAs a result, we have made the determination that our men\u2019s swimming team will return to full competition next season. While we have all learned some difficult lessons through this process, we are confident that this team is set up for success in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The leadership of the program will presumably remain with Chris Lindauer,<\/strong> who has continued coaching the women\u2019s team this year. The yearlong hiatus has already cost the program its biggest start in Paris Olympian Chris Guiliano<\/strong>, who entered the transfer portal and is competing at the University of Texas<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
