THE FLATS – The Georgia Tech swimming and diving team will host the Dual Meet Tournament in the 2026-27 season following the success of the first edition of the competition in October 2025.
The Jackets will host the eight-team competition with Auburn, Florida State, Kentucky, Minnesota, Notre Dame, Penn State, and George Washington in the field. Half of the competing teams finished among the top 25 in the CSCAA final dual meet rankings; seven of the eight programs are among the power-four conferences.
The tournament will see all eight teams face off in the opening round of the dual meet, the opening round winners advancing to the winners’ bracket, with the losers moving into the consolation bracket. The semifinals of each bracket will determine the final placement matchups spanning from the championship, third-place, fifth-place, and seventh-place meets.
Auburn, Florida State, and Minnesota return with Tech as entries from last season’s competition. The Jackets will return eight ACC Championships finalists on the squad, including back-to-back men’s three-diving champion Max Fowler.
Tournament information including the bracket, dates, tickets, and additional links will be available at a later date.
