The Carroll University men's and women's swimming and diving teams were named to the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America Fall Team Scholar All-America list.The Pioneers were one of four College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin institutions to earn the honor, and made up two of the 709 teams, and one of 414 institutions, listed across all NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA. 

The men's team finished the fall semester with a 3.05 GPA, while the women notched a 3.46, led by coach Guy Gniotczynski in his 6th year at the helm of both programs. This distinction represents the highest academic honor awarded by the CSCAA and is presented by Fitter and Faster Swim Camps, recognizing programs that exemplify excellence in the classroom while competing at the highest levels of collegiate sport.

The Scholar All-America designation includes collegiate swimming and diving programs nationwide from NCAA Division I, Division II, and Division III, as well as NAIA and junior college and community college institutions, underscoring the broad academic impact of the sport across all levels of competition.

In total, 709 teams representing 16,421 student-athletes earned Scholar All-America recognition for their outstanding academic performance. To qualify, each team was required to post a team cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or higher during the Fall 2025 semester, reflecting a sustained commitment to academic excellence alongside competitive achievement.
