July 06, 2021 | Men's Swimming and Diving
PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton University men's swimming & diving team will welcome 13 newcomers for its Class of 2025, as announced by Head Coach Matt Crispino.
"We're thrilled to welcome the Class of '25 to Princeton this fall," said Crispino. "This is a large group, several of whom were originally part of the 2024 class but deferred enrollment.

We expect each swimmer to contribute immediately and move our program closer to our goals. We're especially excited about our four new divers. Sean Letsinger has done an incredible job identifying up-and-coming divers with tons of potential."
