GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A pair of Gator men's divers will look to earn bids to the 2021 NCAA Men's Swimming and Diving Championships at the Diving Zones on March 7-10 at the Greensboro Aquatic Center In Greensboro, North Carolina.
Leonardo Garcia and Anton Svirskyi will compete to earn bids to NCAA's on March 24-27 in Greensboro, N.C. The men swimmers who qualify for the championships will be announced here next week.
UF will be competing in Zone B for just 10 qualifying spots on the 1-meter and eight spots in both the 3-meter and platform.
