The NCAA Transfer Portal for NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming & Diving is open for business. Starting today, and for the next 45 days, NCAA Division I swimmers who want to transfer next season are eligible to put their name into the portal that can be viewed by coaches across the country.
Swimmers do not have to transfer once they’ve entered the portal, and we have seen several high profile cases in swimming where they do not.
NCAA Swimming & Diving Transfer Portal Dates
Women – March 11 to April 24 Men – March 18 to May 2The Transfer Portal and the wild new west of NIL have led to a dramatic increase in transfers across collegiate sports.
Read about some of the high profile transfers last season.While overall transfer portal entries for swimming & diving have not exploded the way they have in football and men’s basketball, where teams have had to rebuild entire rosters in an offseason, the attention on transfers and the transfer portal nationally have focused eyes upon it. In the 2024 offseason, only 170 women’s D1 swimmers & divers entered the transfer portal and wound up at another school. 52 of those were graduate transfers (which were higher during the era of the ‘5th year’). That was fewer than either of the two seasons before.
The men’s side was flat in 2024, the last season for which data is readily available. 81 undergrads and 31 graduates wound up transferring that year, the same total number (71/41) as 2023.
Swimmers or divers who wish to be eligible to compete in NCAA Division I athletics next season must be in the portal by the date it closes, but do not have to decide on their transfer by then.
The three main exceptions to the window are:
If a program is cut (lots of Cal Baptist swimmers are already in) Graduate transfers can generally enter whenever they want If a head coaching change is made (the portal reopens for 15 days, starting five days after the new head coach is announced) – New timeline for 2026These rules apply only to the NCAA Division I Transfer Portal.
