DALLAS (SMU) - The SMU Women's Swimming and Diving team hosts the annual SMU Classic Swim Meet Friday, Oct. 29 and Saturday, Oct. 30 at Perkins Natatorium on the SMU Campus. The SMU Classic provides nationally ranked teams the opportunity to compete all at one meet. This year's SMU Classic hosts elite programs from across the nation, USC from the Pac 10, Louisville from the Big East, Purdue from the Big 10 and Rice and SMU from the C-USA.
"This year's Classic will feature some of the best teams from the top conferences around the country," said head coach Steve Collins. "No other meet this season will offer this caliber or concentration of talent."
The SMU Classic showcases the strongest and most versatile swimmers of each program. Due to its' design, competing teams must have a representative in each race, however, squads are limited to only eight swimmers and one diver for the entire meet. The SMU Classic provides a rare opportunity to witness high-level competition in the intimate setting of Perkins Natatorium, one of the last six-lane pools in the NCAA.
The SMU Classic is the "Pack the House" event for SAAC (Student Athlete Advisory Committee). Join SMU's student athletes and help fill the stands and support your Mustang swimming and diving team. Students, faculty and staff get in free. Graduate students must be enrolled in the sports pack to get free admission.
Opening ceremonies commence Friday at Perkins Natatorium at 6:15p.m. The meet begins at 6:30 p.m. both Friday and Saturday.
