MCC Swimming and Diving History

The MCC Swimming and Diving team was founded in the 1969-70 season, just a few short years after the college opened the Brighton campus. Today, over 500 swimmers and divers  are alumni of the MCC Tribunes. Alumni are spread throughout the world and successfully contribute to the “greater good” in a wide variety of professions.  It is the coaching staff's belief that the alumni’s experience at Monroe Community College as a student and athlete has been instrumental in their contributions to the world at large.

In the early days, the team practiced at the Rochester Institute of Technology pool, as the MCC aquatic facility was not completed until 1978. Starting in the '69-70 season, MCC established itself as a regional and national power and has steadily been recognized at the national level. In its history, MCC has had 10 individual national champions (in 13 events) and over 70 individual CSCAA or NJCAA All-Americans (in well over 100 events). In 2016 Tamara Miler joined Mallory Morrell, Urska Ros, Matt Monaghan and Laura Peel as the only MCC swimmers to establish national records. The information below demonstrates the finest in MCC swimming and diving over the years, and we hope that it is an accurate reflection of the fine student-athletes that have swum for MCC. The current coaching staff is proud to uphold and expand on the achievements of those that have coached and swum before our tenure here.

Swimming & Diving Alumni Weekend 2022

The current coaching staff has established an Alumni Weekend for the 2022 Season on Saturday, October 29th. The coaches invite our past swimmers/divers and introduce our new team to them.  The festivities include a “fun” meet where any of our alumni are invited to match up with our current team.  If you would just like to come and watch, that is encouraged as well. The alumni then gather at a local establishment at night to catch up and enjoy a social evening together.
