The Middlebury women’s swimming and diving team begins its 2022-23 season with a home meet on Saturday, November 19 against Connecticut College. The Panthers welcome back numerous competitors in the pool and on the diving boards.

Isabella Caddeau, Chloe Katz and Bella Barragate return to the pool after successful first years of collegiate competition. Caddeau earned All-American honors as a part of the 200-yard medley relay team that finished 13th at the NCAA Championships with a school-record time. Katz, a freestyle specialist, finished in third place during the 1,000 free, seventh place in the 500 free and 16th in the 200 free at the NESCAC Championships last winter. She also qualified for the NCAA Championships in the 100, 200 and 500 free. Barragate competed in the breaststroke events, highlighted by an eighth-place finish in the 100 breaststroke at the league’s championship.

Giulia Shaughnessy leads the divers for the Panthers. Shaughnessy was a consistent scorer on both the 1-meter and 3-meter boards a season ago.

Head coach Bob Rueppel returns to the Middlebury natatorium for his 12th season at the program's helm. He is assisted by Coulter Morrill, while Bradley Schott coaches the Panther divers.
