OSWEGO, N.Y. – School-record holder Mitchell Stevens leads a reshaped SUNY Oswego men's swimming and diving team into the 2026-27 season, which opens Oct. 17 against Oneonta in Laker Hall."

The Lakers finished third at the 2026 SUNYAC-AMCC Championships in Buffalo. Head coach Mike Holman, a 1996 Oswego graduate who held the school record in the 400 individual medley as a Laker swimmer, enters his 20th season leading the program.

"This is a completely different team than it was last year," said head coach Mike Holman. "My expectations are that we develop throughout the season into the type of team that embodies our vision. We look for individual improvement, and our goal is top three at our conference meet."

Key Returners
Junior Mitchell Stevens won the 200 butterfly at SUNYACs in 1:54.97, breaking a school record that had stood since 1977. Junior Sam Waddell was runner-up in the 100 freestyle, one of four Lakers in that A final.

Senior Duncan Smith and junior Tony Medina also reached that 100 free A final, and both swam on the 800 free relay that placed second at SUNYACs. On the boards, junior diver Fin Dolaway placed seventh on 1-meter.

"Our team feels like a community because we always support each other," said senior Mike Neckers. "We strive to be the best team on deck at every single swim meet that we have, and we're always there for each other when we need each other."
