CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Stephanie Wriede Morawski '92, the Costin Family Head Coach for Harvard Women's Swimming and Diving, recently announced the team's incoming Class of 2025. Joining the Crimson in the fall is a 12-member class hailing from three different nations and seven different states.
 
"The Class of 2025 is remarkable! Resilient, powerful and spirited," stated Morawski. "They remained upbeat during these crazy times, trained creatively, and broadened the scope of events they cover or learned new dives.  As a result, they will make an immediate impact on our program and we are looking forward to their positivity and leadership in the pool and on the boards."
