March 10-14, 2026 Deaconess Aquatic Center — Evansville, Indiana SCY (25 Yards) Defending Champions Women: Nova Southeastern (3x) Men: vacant Psych Sheets Men Women Live Video: NCAA.com Live Results Live Recaps: Prelims: Day 2 Finals: Day 1For those unfamiliar with swimming terminology, the concept of “Ups” and “Downs” is a good way to track which teams performed best at prelims. In prelims, swimmers qualify for one of two finals heats: the top 8 finishers make the A final, places 9 through 16 the B final. In finals, swimmers are locked into their respective final, meaning a swimmer in the B heat (spots 9-16) can only place as high as 9th or as low as 16th, even if they put up the fastest or slowest time of any heat in the final.
With that in mind, we’ll be tracking “Ups” and “Downs” after each prelims session. “Up” refers to swimmers and divers in the A final, “Down” to B finalists.
These predictions do not include the 1000 free, diving, or relays
