Roster rules changed in 2025. Since 1 July 2025, Division I schools that joined the House v. NCAA settlement cap women’s swimming and diving rosters at 30 and may fund a scholarship for every rostered player (the old limit was 14 scholarships). Auburn University reported 46 participants in 2024-2025, so expect fewer roster spots for incoming players than a few years ago. Current athletes may be grandfathered.
