Jul 2, 2026 | Women's Swimming and Diving
NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane swimming and diving team was recently recognized as a team for outstanding work in the classroom during the 2026 spring semester by the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA). The award is presented by Fitter & Faster Swim Camps.
The program saw the 27 members of the squad put up a 3.62 spring GPA for head coach Amanda Caldwell to earn Scholar All-America Team honors by the CSCAA. In order to earn the national recognition, the team needed a cumulative GPA of 3.0 and higher for the semester.
Tulane was one of 714 teams from 418 institutions that were recognized nationally in the spring by CSCAA.
"This recognition celebrates the remarkable commitment these student-athletes make to excellence both in the classroom and in competition," said CSCAA Executive Director Samantha Barany. "The 714 teams honored this spring represent the very best of collegiate swimming and diving, demonstrating that academic success and athletic achievement go hand in hand. We congratulate every student-athlete, coach, and institution recognized."
Founded in 1922, the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA), is the nation's first organization of college coaches. The mission of the CSCAA is to advance the sport of swimming and diving with coaches at the epicenter of leadership, advocacy, and professional development.
