The California women's swimming & diving team had 15 student-athletes selected for the 2024 NCAA Division I championships on Wednesday morning, tied for the second-most in the country along with Texas.

The 15 swimmers will compete in a combined 24 events, and the Golden Bears also qualified for all five relays. The 24 events are the fourth most of any team in the nation.
