Men's Swimming and Diving
Head Coach: Jim Bolster Asst. Coach: Gustavo Leal Diving Coach: Gordon Spencer
Summary The Men's Swimming and Diving program at Columbia University competes in the Ivy League in Division I of the NCAA. The season officially begins in October and ends in early March, although technically all college swim seasons extend until the NCAA Championships regardless of whether they have entrants.
Achievements The Columbia Lions tend to finish the season well. Their dual meet record is often a poor indicator of their end-of-season performance. Columbia enjoys healthy competition with most of the Ivy League, often just shy of league powerhouses Princeton and Harvard, and in close battles with Yale and Cornell. In 2009 Columbia finished 5th in the Ivy League; 2008 - 4th, 2007 - 4th, 2006 - 3rd.
The Lions are also a high accomplishing team within Columbia Athletics. In 2008-2009 the Men's Swimming and Diving team finished fifth in the Lion's Cup rankings in it's year of inception. The Lion's Cup ranks teams based on Athletic Achievement, Academic Achievement, Spirit, Community Service,and LIONS Fund Participation.
