During the 2024-25 campaign, UCLA had six individual student-athletes qualify for the NCAA Championships, along with four relay squads. At the NCAA Championships, Eden Cheng earned NCAA All-American Honorable Mention status for the third consecutive year on platform, highlighting the Bruins' performance at the national meet. Karolina Piechowicz and Claudia Yovanovich were both named to the Big Ten All-Freshman team, where the Bruins placed seventh as a squad in their inaugural Big Ten Championships appearance. UCLA also set four new school records in 2024-25, as Karolina Piechowicz set a school record in the 100 breast, while three relays had their school records broken (200 free, 200 medley, 400 medley).ย ย
