PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The NCAA announced the participants for the 2026 swimming championships, with University of Pennsylvania swimmers Watson Nguyen and Peter Whittington earning nods for the postseason competition.

Sophomore Nguyen had already claimed his spot with his wins in the 100 & 200 breaststroke at the Ivy League Championships. Nguyen broke pool and program records with his time in the former. Nguyen earned First Team All-Ivy with his wins at the Ivies.
