The UWF swimming and diving team finished sixth at the NCAA Championships in March. The team accumulated 22 All-Americans and 6 individual national championships. The Argonauts finished third at the New South Intercollegiate Swim Conference championship in February. The Argos sent 10 student-athletes to the national meet in March.
 
West Florida continues a growing tradition of scheduling top competition to start the season. Host Emory has won eight consecutive NCAA Division III national team championships. In the inaugural 2013-14 campaign, the Argonauts hosted Florida State and Tulane. In the fall of 2014, North Florida and Vanderbilt made the trip to Pensacola for a season-opener, and the Air Force Academy, Tulane and Arkansas-Little Rock opened the season at the UWF Aquatic Center in 2015. The team opened the 2016 season with a matchup against Vanderbilt and Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
