Princeton Sweeps Dartmouth And Brown As Pool Records Fall

November 08, 2025 | Women's Swimming and Diving

Results w/ splits vs Dartmouth/Brown

There are a lot of laps and a lot of yards to be swum between now and when the championship meets roll around for the Princeton men's and women's swimming and diving teams in late February and into March. If you add them all up, they might even cover the distance from DeNunzio Pool all the way to Dartmouth's Karl Michael Pool, where the 2025-26 season began for the Tigers.

As beginnings go, this one was pretty memorable.

Between the two teams, Princeton racked up an astonishing 16 pool records while rolling past Dartmouth and Brown. For the women, the final scores were Princeton 228.5, Dartmouth 71.5 and Princeton 218, Brown 82. On the men's side, it was Princeton over Dartmouth 228-72 and Princeton over Brown 219-81.

The women won every event except for one. The men won all but two events.

WOMEN

Freshman Chloe Kim, from Glen Rock,N.J., started her collegiate career with two individual wins, both of which came in pool-record times. Kim, an Olympic Trials qualifier who represented the U.S. at the World Junior Championships, won the 1,000 freestyle and 400 individual medley.

In fact, Kim was not the only freshman to set pool records in individual events on opening day. Delaney Herr from California and Savannah Skow from Washington also did so, in the 100 back and 500 free, while Skow also won the 200 free.

There were also familiar names who had big days. Eleanor Sun, still only a junior, won the 200 backstroke and 200 butterfly while also teaming with Sophia Sunwoo, Sabrina Johnston and Heidi Smithwick to set a pool record in the 400 free relay. Johnson and Sunwoo, another freshman, were also part of the pool record for the 200 medley relay.

Smithwick won the 100 butterfly and finished second to Sun in the 200 fly to start her senior year.

Charlotte Norman, Charlotte Martinkus and Maggie Squire went 1-2-3 in the one-meter diving, while Martinkus won the three-meter.

MEN
Of the eight individual pool records set, it should come as no surprise that Mitchell Schott set two of them (200 free, 200 back) while also adding a third record as part of the 400 free relay. Logan Noguchi also had two of his own, in the 50 free and 100 butterfly, and he was also part of the record-setting 200 medley relay team.

Patrick Dinu's sophomore year started with a pool record in the 100 free and legs on the 400 free relay and 200 medley relay. He also finished second behind Noguchi in the 50 free.

Freshman Alex Townsend set the pool record in the 200 butterfly. He also finished second behind Noguchi and ahead of teammate Lucas Tudoras in the 100 fly as all three shattered the existing pool record.

Andrew Zou's sophomore year started with two individual wins, with a pool record in the 200 breast and a second victory in the 100 breaststroke.

Aidan Wang won the three-meter diving Friday night.
