All remaining Georgetown men's and women's swimming & diving home meets are currently scheduled to take place at McCarthy Pool. All Georgetown University indoor on-campus intercollegiate athletics events will be completed with no fans in attendance for the month of January due to the emergence and rapid spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in the Washington, D.C., region, across the country, and globally.
