2026 NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships
Dates: Wednesday, March 25–Saturday, March 28 Location: McAuley Aquatic Center, Atlanta, GA Defending Champions: Texas (1x) Championship Central Pre-Cut Psych Sheets Live Results Live VideoUpon the release of the pre-selection psych sheets for the 2026 Men’s NCAA Championships on Tuesday, SwimSwam has run the numbers and projected where the cutline will fall for the finale of the 2025-26 college campaign.
Note: Pre-cut psych sheets are not final. The final selections are usually released on Wednesday afternoon. Any changes that happen before that release will change the math. Any change after the release of the post-cut psych sheets—such as a swimmer scratching the meet, which often happens—will pull in the next alternate regardless of event.

Projecting the cutline is not as straightforward as it has been in the past this year due to the introduction of the automatic qualifier system through the conference championships.
The change means there’s no clear cutline due to an uneven number of automatic qualifiers in each event. For example, the 25th-ranked swimmers in the 200 free, 500 free and 200 IM will all qualify for NCAAs, but the 22nd seed in the 50 free won’t, due to there being eight men earning automatic invites in the 50.
This year’s cutline falls two spots into Line 29, which is the 24th-seeded swimmer in the men’s 200 back, Northwestern’s David Gerchik.
As we did for the women’s projection, below you can find the last invited swimmer in each event. Note that this isn’t entirely accurate for what the invite time is in each event, as many swimmers have higher seeds in other events. In the 50 freestyle, for example, Alabama’s Sean Niewold was the last new invite as the 14th seed, but the swimmers seeded 15th-21st all have higher seeds in other individual events.
Niewold notably qualified in the 50 free at the Indiana Last Chance Meet on Saturday, clocking 18.76 just one day after a breakthrough 21.66 swim in the long course pool.

The new qualifying procedure, in its simplest terms:
Step 1: Divers go in (35 men, 41 women) Step 2: All individual swimmers who won a conference championship AND hit the Qualifying Standard in that event get the auto-bid. Step 3: (Steps 3 & 4 are similar to years past) Swimmers are added one at a time in each event, keeping the number of qualifiers in each event the same* until the entry cap is reached (235 swimmers for men, 281 swimmers for women). Step 4: When the entry cap is reached, you wind up with a ‘final row’ in each event. For women, that’s usually around #40, for men, that’s usually around #30 in each event. Swimmers already qualified in step two are now guaranteed their spot, while the rest are ranked by their time as a percentage of the qualifying standard, with the fastest times added one at a time until the cap is met.The first alternate for the meet projects to be Texas freshman Alexey Glivinskiy, who is the 26th seed in the 200 free.

The new entry procedure sees automatic qualifiers added to the meet first, regardless of seed. That means that when projecting the cutline, each swimmer who earned an AQ was added first as the “top seed,” even if they were not the fastest swimmer in their event. Because of this, the seed column numbers are off from the actual listed seeds in the pre-selection psych sheets.

SCHOOL
Teams can bring a maximum of 18 roster spots to the NCAA Championships, with each swimmer counting as one roster member and divers counting as half. Unlike the women’s meet, where Virginia qualified 18 swimmers, the men’s team with the most qualifiers in the pool is Indiana, with 16, followed by Texas and Cal with 13.
Last year, Cal originally had 19 swimmers qualify for the meet (meaning they would have to scratch at least one), while Texas had 18.
