The NCAA Division I swimming roster size for the 2025 season is set at a maximum of 14 scholarships for men’s teams and 14 scholarships for women’s teams. This roster size has been in place since the 2012-2013 season and has remained unchanged for the past several years.
The NCAA Division I swimming roster size is important for several reasons. First, it helps to ensure that teams have a fair and equitable opportunity to compete against one another. Second, it helps to prevent teams from stockpiling too many talented swimmers, which can lead to a lack of competition and a decrease in the overall quality of swimming. Third, it helps to promote parity among teams and prevents a few select teams from dominating the sport.
