59 Liberty League student-athletes were named to the 2024-25 Academic All-District Swimming & Diving teams as selected by College Sports Communicators (CSC). 33 female and 26 male student-athletes garnered the accolades.
The 2024-25 CSC Academic All-District® Men’s and Women's Swimming & Diving Teams highlight the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances in the pool and in the classroom. Eligible student-athletes must compete in 90 percent of or start at least 66 percent of an institution's games/contests, maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher, and reach sophomore athletic and academic standing at the school.
The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes swimming & diving athletes in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA — for each gender. Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced on April 23 (women) and April 24 (men).
Nine of the 10 Liberty League members that sponsor swimming & diving were represented among the teams and eight league institutions had honorees on both men’s and women’s teams. Three schools had a conference-best eight honorees—Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Skidmore College, and Vassar College.
