California is looking to pull off a three-peat at the 2024 NCAA men's swimming and diving championships.
The Golden Bears, who sit at No. 3 in the latest CSCAA top 25 poll behind only No. 1 Arizona State and No. 2 Florida, have won the last two Division I titles. If California can bring home another trophy, it will become the first school to win three championships in a row since Texas went four-for-four from 2015-18.
But Cal coach David Durden knows that there will be several challengers standing in his squad's way. More than 200 athletes will jump into the pool at the IU Natatorium with dreams of etching their names into the history books.
Here is everything you need to know about the NCAA men's swimming and diving championships, including how to watch the trials and finals for each event.
