Brown University’s women’s swimming and diving team is set to host the 2026 Ivy League Women’s Swimming and Diving Championship starting Wednesday, February 18. The event will take place at the Katherine Moran Coleman Aquatics Center inside the Nelson Fitness Center in Providence, Rhode Island. The championship runs through Saturday, February 21.
Preliminary rounds are scheduled for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 11 a.m., with finals taking place each evening at 6 p.m. All sessions of the meet will be streamed on ESPN+, with commentary provided by Mike Rubin and Jenna Reznicek.
Last season, Brown finished fourth in the Ivy League Championship and had six athletes earn Second Team All-Ivy honors. This year, Natalie Garre has set new program records in three freestyle events: the 500, 1000, and 1650 meters. Isabella Dieffenthaller also set a new program record in the 200-meter freestyle during a meet in Providence on November 1.
The Brown University Sports Foundation continues to support athletics programs through donations from alumni, parents, fans, and friends. According to the university: “The Brown University Sports Foundation (BUSF) is the backbone of our athletics program, playing a crucial role in enhancing the student-athlete experience. This is possible through philanthropic support from our alumni, parents, fans, and friends. Your gift through the Sports Foundation can immediately impact today’s Brown Bears, helping them excel in the classroom, in competition, and most importantly, in the community.”
