Men's and Women's Diving Championships Returning to Erie

Buffalo, NY- Erie Community College will serve as the host for the 2021 NJCAA Division III Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving Championships.  

"We are excited to get the opportunity to continue to host the NJCAA Swimming and Diving Championships at SUNY Erie Community College's Burt Flickinger Athletic Center," stated Steve Mullen, Erie Director of Athletics. "The West Herr Natatorium hosts dozens of collegiate and amateur championships each year and it's the NJCAA Championships that have produced some of the top performances in the pool's history."

The Burt Flickinger Athletic Center opened as a legacy to the World University Games in June 1994. The facility houses an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a 25- meter warm-up pool, three regulation basketball courts, a large field house which seats 3,000, a 1/9-mile indoor jogging track and a Wellness Center. In addition, locker rooms and showers are available as well as Athletic Department offices and a number of classrooms that are located on the first floor. 

Indian River State in florida will host the championships in 2022 and the two sites will alternate hosting through 2026. 

The event will return to the Flickinger Athletic Center March 3-6 2021. Erie last hosted the event in 2019
