WASHINGTON – Georgetown University Swimming & Diving Head Coach Jack Leavitt has announced the addition of seven incoming freshmen to the women's swimming & diving team's roster. The seven members of the Georgetown Class of 2023, who will join the Hoyas this fall, hail from six different states.
 
"We're really excited to add these seven women to our program," Leavitt said. "They fill a lot of needs in the pool but, more importantly, they really fit in well with our culture as a team."
