The four days of competition will begin on Wednesday, February 28 with the preliminaries of the men's 1M dive at 2 p.m. AZT.
 
The first swimming events will be that evening, set to begin at 7 p.m. AZT with the 200 medley relay and the 800 freestyle relay in addition to a combined gender diving team event.
 
At the Pac-12 Championships last season, the Sun Devil women placed fifth with Lindsay Looney becoming a two-time Pac-12 champion in the 200 fly and the 500 free. After having just two divers compete at the 2022 Pac-12 Championships, the Sun Devils had six competing for them at the conference championships with Thomas Wesche taking sixth in the platform.
 
SUN DEVIL NOTABLES
  • The Sun Devil women have been ranked in each of the CSCAA polls this season and are currently ranked No. 21 in the nation.
  • Both men's and women's programs are coming off competition at in-state rival Arizona where both programs swept the Wildcats in the final dual meet of the season. Charli Brown won all three of her individual events (100 back, 200 back and 200 IM) down in Tucson.
  • All six divers that competed at last year's Pac-12 Championships returned for the Sun Devils this year. Newcomers Kayden Hayes and Vera Brewer will compete at their first Pac-12 Championships in Federal Way.
  • Deniz Ertan has won the 1650 free in each of the two meets featuring that event this season (NC State Invite and a dual meet with GCU). Her time of 15:53.23 at the midseason NC State Invite is currently fourth in the nation amongst all Division I swimmers.
  • Lindsay Looney became the fourth swimmer under head coach Bob Bowman to win a Pac-12 Championship last season, winning two in 2023. Looney, the reigning Pac-12 champion in the 200 fly, won the event in all dual meets and at the NC State Invite.
  • At Arizona, the Sun Devil women were in the driver's seat for the entirety of the meet off some top place finishes from a mixture of underclassmen and upperclassmen including Emma Gehlert, Zoe Summar, Jade Foelske, Ieva Maluka, Erin Milligan and Alexa Reyna, among others.
