The men’s team finishes the abbreviated regular season at 1-2, and the women’s team goes into the conference championships sitting at 1-3.

The teams will now prepare for the upcoming Big Ten Championships. The men and women’s diving teams will compete on Feb. 24-27 in West Lafayette, Indiana. The men’s and women’s swimming teams will have their conference championships held on March 3-6.

The women’s swimming team will compete in Minneapolis, while the men’s team will compete at a site to be determined.

After the Big Ten Championships, the NCAA Championships will take place from March 17-20 in Greensboro, North Carolina, for the women, and from March 24-27 for the men at the same location.

The University of Iowa plans to discontinue both programs at the end of the academic year, though a U.S. District Court Judge issued a preliminary injunction in December 2020 that temporarily prevents the university from cutting the women’s swimming and diving teams.
