History

The men's team was formed in 1926 by Clarence Jones and practices were held in the Athens YMCA 20-yard pool.^[5] The men's team later moved to Stegeman Hall, an indoor athletics and training facility built during World War I and demolished in 1996.^[6][7] The women's team began competing in 1974. Both teams moved to their current facility, Gabrielsen Natatorium, in 1996.

The women's 1st-place finish in the 2016 Women's NCAA national championships was their 21st consecutive top-7 effort at that meet.^[2][8] The men's team has finished in the top 15 at Men's NCAA national championships every year since 1997.^[4] A 5th place showing at the 2016 Men's championship was the fourteenth top-ten finish for the men's team in its history.^[9]
