The No. 19-ranked UCLA swimming and diving team is scheduled to take part in the 2021 Pac-12 Swimming & Diving Championships from Wednesday, Feb. 24 through Saturday, Feb. 27.
This year's conference meet will take place in split locations, with swimmers competing at the University of Houston and divers at the University of Arizona.
