COLUMBIA, Mo. – The University of Missouri will host the 2021 Southeastern Conference Men's and Women's Diving and Men's Swimming Championships in an updated format for the event, the league announced on Wednesday.
The Championships will now feature three separate event: men's and women's diving, women's swimming and men's swimming. Mizzou will host men's and women's diving, Feb. 17-20, and men's swimming Feb. 23-26, both at the Mizzou Aquatic Center. The University of Georgia will host the women's swimming meet, also set for Feb. 17-20, at Gabrielsen Natatorium, in Athens, Ga.
Mizzou last hosted the SEC Swimming & Diving Championships in 2016 and was scheduled to host the full 2021 meet before the format change.
The 2020-21 SEC men's and women's swimming & diving season began in October and will conclude no later than Jan. 25, 2021, with regionalized competition permitted upon the adherence of opponents to SEC Medical Guidance Task Force Requirements for COVID-19 Management. Contests are limited to a dual-meet format unless alternative strategies are identified to limit the overall number of participants to ensure appropriate distancing. The number of events is at the discretion of each institution.
The SEC's Return to Activity and Medical Guidance Task Force continues to meet on policies and procedures for the safe return of student-athletes to competition, building on the NCAA's Resocialization of College Sports Guidelines.
