The Mount Holyoke College swimming and diving program is dedicated to helping each student-athlete recognize their potential and then reach it. The season begins in late September and runs through the end of February. In March, athletes who qualify compete in the NCAA Division III Championships.

Practice is held five to six days a week in the afternoon. The team also has two morning dry-land practices per week, as well as morning water optional practices. Workouts focus on quality swimming and include dry-land and strength training programs. The team also takes off on a seven to ten day training trip every January, with recent trips including Plantation, Florida and Acapulco, Mexico.
