Swanson won both the 100 free and 200 free, and contributed to a 200 yard freestyle win, to help the Athenas come away with a win over No. 11 WashU and a narrow six-point defeat to No. 8 UChicago. Swanson had the first win for the Athenas on the day in the 200 free, finishing in 1:52.30, which moves her up from 10th in CMS history after her debut swim against UC San Diego all the way up to fifth. Swanson then swam a 51.41 to win the 100 free, which ties for fourth in CMS history with Michelle Kee (2014). She then swam the lead leg of the 200 yard free relay, which edged Chicago by just .26.
