CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard Men's Swimming and Diving announced today its 2025-26 schedule, which features a front-loaded road journey and back-loaded home slate.
 
Harvard will have a preseason meet on Oct. 24, when it travels to MIT to face the Engineers and Northeastern in a 6:30 p.m. scrimmage. The tri-meet will also feature the Harvard women's swimming and diving team.
 
When the season officially begins, the Crimson will compete three times in November, first on Nov. 7, when it opens the campaign at in-state foe Massachusetts. The 6 p.m. dual meet will mark the first time the squads will have gone head-to-head.
 
The next two Fridays will see Harvard take on three Ivy League teams, beginning with Dartmouth and Cornell in Hanover, New Hampshire, on Nov. 14. When Harvard meets the Big Green and Big Red at the pool at 3:30 p.m., it will do so with an 81-11 all-time mark against the hosts and a 60-2 all-time record vs. Cornell. The following Friday (Nov. 21) will take the Crimson to New York City to face Columbia at 5 p.m., with designs on extending its 18-dual-meet winning streak vs. the Lions.
 
Harvard is scheduled to close out the 2025 calendar year at the Minnesota Invitational, which is set for Wednesday, Dec. 3-Saturday Dec. 6. This represents the sixth consecutive season the Crimson has appeared at the event, and it comes off last year's runner-up performance, which saw it finish ahead of then-No. 18 Minnesota.
 
Harvard finally makes its long-awaited debut at Blodgett Pool on Saturday, Jan. 10, when it faces Brown at 11 a.m. The Crimson is 90-2 all-time vs. the Bears and has won 30 in a row, following its last series defeat in 1992.
 
For the second straight season, Penn and Boston College will make their way to Blodgett Pool, this time competing at noon on Saturday, Jan. 17. With Harvard's 2025 sweep of both schools, it improved to 3-0 all-time vs. the Eagles and 78-3 vs. the Quakers.
 
The Crimson will close out its regular season at home (Jan. 30-31), with the yearly HYP (Harvard-Yale-Princeton) meet. Friday is scheduled for a 2:15 p.m. start and Saturday is slated to get underway at 11:15 a.m. Harvard dropped both decisions a year ago and will look to return to its winning ways, something it accomplished six straight times prior to last season.
 
With the regular season behind it, the Crimson will head to Princeton for the Ivy League Championships, Wednesday, Feb. 25-Saturday, Feb. 28. Harvard will enter the event having won seven of the last eight conference meets.
 
National competition is set to begin with the NCAA Zone A Diving Championships, which will take place Monday, March 9-Wednesday, March 11, at the U.S. Naval Academy. The NCAA Championships, meanwhile, are scheduled for Wednesday, March 25-Saturday, March 28, in Atlanta, Georgia, at Georgia Tech's McAuley Aquatic Center.
 
The Crimson is coming off a 2024-25 season that saw it finish with a 7-2 dual-meet record and a runner-up performance at the Ivy League Championships. This season's squad will be captained by David Greeley, David Schmitt and Raphael Tourette, and will feature all five of its NCAA participants from 2025, in Greeley, Schmitt, Sonny Wang, Marre Gattnar and Evan Croley.
