Criteria for the selection of CSCAA Division III and NAIA All-Americans have been adjusted to account for the cancellation of the NCAA Division III and NAIA Championships. 

With the cancelation of the NCAA Championship meet athletes have an alternative path towards a place on the 98th annual All-America Team.  Athletes can become eligible for First-Team honors by achieving either a CSCAA Automatic Time Standard or being ranked among the eight-fastest in their respective events, with a Consideration Time Standard.  For consideration of Second-Team honors, Athletes must achieve a CSCAA Consideration Standard and be ranked 9-16th in their respective event. If fewer than sixteen individuals or relays achieve the ‘B’ standard in a given event, no additional selections will be made for that event. There will be no second-team selections made in NAIA. Athletes will be limited to All-American honors in up to seven events (with a maximum of three individual). 

In order to be eligible:

• Coaches must submit an application for each swimming event and an application and six-dive video for each diving event.

• All performances must be achieved in bona fide competition with officials present prior to May 15, 2021.

• Institutions must be current CSCAA Members.

For diving, student-athletes will be considered for All-America Honors if they achieve a minimum qualifying score at a bona fide competition (below); AND submit their video and results to the committee for review by May 15th.  All eligible student-athletes will be reviewed and ranked by a panel of judges. The top eight will be named First Team All-America and the next eight will be named Second Team All-America.
