The Nebraska Cornhuskers swimming and diving team competes as part of NCAA Division I, representing the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in the Big Ten Conference. Nebraska has hosted meets at the Devaney Center Natatorium since its construction in 1976. The team has been coached by Pablo Morales since 2001.

Nebraska sponsored a men's program from 1921 until 2001. The program was discontinued by athletic director Bill Byrne due to budgetary concerns, though it may have been hastened by a scholarship manipulation investigation that resulted in the suspension and eventual resignation of longtime head coach Cal Bentz.[2][3] Under Bentz, future Olympic gold medalists Penelope Heyns and Adam Pine won NU's first NCAA Division I individual championships. Since 2001, the university has sponsored only a women's team.

Venues

Nebraska has hosted meets at the Bob Devaney Sports Center Natatorium since the facility was constructed in 1976.[7] The venue hosted several Big Eight and Big 12 conference meets in the decades following its construction, but more recently has been criticized as out-of-date.[8] Its pool is undersized at just twenty-five yards and is considered among the worst in the Big Ten.[9]
