EVANSTON, Ill. — Director of Swimming and Diving Jeremy Kipp announced the program's 2018-19 schedule Wednesday morning, the first under his guidance of the men's and women's programs.
"There are so many reasons to be excited for the season and our schedule," said Kipp. "For the first time ever, Northwestern men and women will be training, competing and traveling together. Our program will be taking on some of the toughest competition in our region and the conference. Our staff has been working feverishly to put together a schedule that is both challenging, fun and one that will help push our student-athletes to reach their full potential. It is time to turn our excitement into action."
