Recruiting information

Greetings from Vermillion! 

Thanks for showing an interest in our program and University. It’s an exciting time as your recruiting process begins to take shape. We are equally as excited about our program and the direction it is heading! With that being said, we are eager to open a line of communication with you and talk more about what the University of South Dakota Swimming and Diving program can offer you as a student-athlete.

We are looking for student-athletes with talent, potential, outstanding character and who will work hard both in the pool and classroom. These values are important because they reflect that of the University of South Dakota and our athletic department. Coyote Nation is like no other; the passion, loyalty and pride of the university, community, and alumni is overwhelming. With no other professional sports teams in the state, the Yotes are held in the highest regard.

If you haven’t done so already, We encourage you to complete an online questionnaire and check out our team website at the following link: Coyote Swimming and Diving. You can also stay up to date on what’s happening with our team by following us on social media:
