REBELS IN THE NATIONAL POLLS: UNLV men's swimming and diving appeared among the teams receiving votes in the 2023 Preseason College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Division I Top-25 poll released on Oct. 12. Out of 32 teams that received votes, the Rebel men's squad ranks 29th on that list with eight points.

UNLV INDIVIDUALS AMONG THE NATION'S BEST: The Rebels have several individual marks that rank among the top-25 fastest on the NCAA top-times chart this season.
