About This Project
Delaware Men's Swimming & Diving continues to make waves both in the pool and in the classroom and the program is incredibly grateful for the unwavering support of our Blue Hen family, which makes our success possible.
This past season, the team delivered standout performances, earning a podium finish with third place at the ASUN Conference Championships. History was made as Matvei Namakonov and Kade Snyder became the third and fourth Fightin' Blue Hens ever to qualify for the NCAA Championships, marking the third consecutive season a men's swimmer has advanced to the national meet. Namakonov also became the first All-American in program history for Delaware men's swimming and diving and now ranks as the No. 18 fastest performer of all-time in the 100 breaststroke. The Blue Hens wrapped up the season with a phenomenal 17 medals in their conference championship.
How your support makes a difference!
Your generosity plays a crucial role in providing an exceptional experience for each of our Men's Swimming & Diving student-athletes, helping to fund equipment, apparel, travel, and lodging, as well as key resources like sports performance, performance nutrition, and academic and career readiness programming. This year, donor support played a vital role in team development and training through funding a team trip to Florida, allowing our team top notch outdoor facilities and an escape from the cold up north to best prepare for the championship season.
Thank you for your continued support of Delaware Men's Swimming & Diving. Your generosity allows our student-athletes to train, compete, and excel at the highest level.
