MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has announced the 2024-25 schedule for the West Virginia University men's and women's swimming and diving teams.
Head coach Brent MacDonald enters his first season at the helm for the Mountaineers after serving as the head coach at Xavier since 2009. Throughout the offseason, MacDonald rounded out his coaching staff, hiring Michael Walker as associate head coach, Mark Butcher as head diving coach, and Sydney Pickrem, James Washbish and David Dent as assistant coaches.
The 2024-25 season will officially begin with the West Virginia State Games at The Aquatic Center at Mylan Park in Morgantown from Oct. 4-5.

WVU will host an Alumni Meet on Oct. 19, at 3 p.m. West Virginia will then hit the road to face Kentucky on Oct. 25, at the Lancaster Aquatic Center in Lexington, Kentucky. The UK women's swimming and diving team placed ninth at the 2024 SEC Championships while the men's team placed 10th.
