SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL N.C. A. A. SWIMMING
CHAMPIONSHIPS

conducted by
The Yale University Athletic Association
March 29th and 30th, 1940

The Seventeenth Annual Swimming Championships of the
National Collegiate Athletic Association were the most successful
held thus far. There was the same high standard of achievement
in the competition and there were more schools and different indi-
viduals competing than ever before. 36 colleges and universities
and 173 different individuals were entered, and 35 colleges and 159
different individuals actually competed. The entry list was enormous.

There were 23 entries in the 1500 meter free style
33 entries in the 50 yard free style
51 entries in the 100 yard free style
30 entries in the 220 yard free style
20 entries in the 200 yard breast stroke
28 entries in the 150 yard back stroke
27 entries in the 440 yard free style
23 entries in the l-meter (low board) dive
21 entries in the 3-meter (high board) dive
13 teams entered in the 400 yard free style relay
15 teams entered in the 300 yard medley relay

Outstanding events in the competition were the 1500 meters event
where a new National Collegiate meet record was established; the
100 yard free style in which the time of the 6th qualifying man
(52.8 sec.) was better than the winning time the year previous. This
race was undoubtedly the feature of the meet. |

In connection with the Championships, meetings were held at
every possible time over the three day session. Not only did the
Rules Committee have its annual meeting, but the college coaches
