Last Season's Discussion:
LSU Tigers Swimming and Diving Men's Team is the class of the SEC West. Unfortunatly, that statement doesn't say too much as most of the top Southeastern Conference swim teams are in the SEC East.
Still, LSU's men's team is currently ranked 19th nationally. The Lady Tiger swimmers are ranked 26th. So, not bad at all.
Historically LSU Tigers Swimming and Diving has not been a particularly impressive program. In fact, they have only won the SEC Swimming and Diving Championship once - the 1988 Men's team (led by current coach Adam Schmitt).
Last season, the LSU Tigers Men's Swimming and Diving team finished 6th in the SEC Swimming and Diving Championship and 28th nationally in the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships.
