Marquette to Add Varsity Women\u2019s Swimming Program<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marquette announced on Wednesday that it will add varsity women\u2019s swimming as soon as the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n

Marquette, a Division I Jesuit institution in Milwaukee, would add swimming as its 17th varsity sports offering. It is currently at seven women\u2019s teams, seven men\u2019s and two spirit teams. It would not include the addition of diving.<\/p>\n

Marquette is a full member of the Big East Conference. It would become the eighth member of that conference to offer women\u2019s swimming and seamlessly integrate into its championships.<\/p>\n
