The College Swimming & Diving Association of America (CSCAA) has announced the members of its Advocacy Council, which brings together leaders across several companies, public service, sports media, law, and more, to help strengthen the future of college swimming and diving.
In a report from the CSCAA, the council was established in 2025 by the Board of Directors. It will provide “strategic guidance, advocacy, and philanthropic leadership in support of the Association’s mission to protect, preserve, and expand collegiate swimming and diving opportunities.”
The Advocacy Council will identify strategic priorities and create working groups that will look to enhance the sustainability of the sport at the collegiate level.
“On behalf of the CSCAA, I want to sincerely thank each member of the Advocacy Council for their willingness to serve our sport,” said Northwestern Head Coach and CSCAA President Rachel Stratton-Mills in the release from the CSCAA. “The caliber of leaders who have agreed to lend their time, expertise, and influence to this effort is truly remarkable. Their collective experience and commitment will strengthen our Association and help ensure collegiate swimming and diving continues to thrive for generations to come.”
Samantha Barany, the Executive Director of the CSCAA, shared her excitement for the new council, stating that the assembled group brings a collective “deep understanding of the evolving landscape of higher education and college athletics, and, of course, new ideas.”
“The future of college swimming and diving requires thoughtful leadership, strong partnerships, a deep understanding of the evolving landscape of higher education and college athletics, and, of course, new ideas,” Barany said in the release from the CSCAA. “We are incredibly fortunate to have assembled a group of accomplished leaders who care deeply about our sport and are willing to invest their expertise, relationships, and perspectives to help ensure collegiate swimming and diving continues to thrive for generations to come.”
