The 1960 NCAA swimming and diving championships were contested in March 1960 at Perkins Natatorium at Southern Methodist University in University Park, Texas at the 24th annual officially NCAA-sanctioned swim meet to determine the team and individual national champions of men's collegiate swimming and diving in the United States. Including the pre-NCAA events from before 1937, these were the 36th overall collegiate swimming and diving championships.[1]
The program featured sixteen individual events, fourteen in swimming and two for diving. Teams earned points based on their placement in individual events, with the highest-earning team receiving the national title.
USC claimed their first team national title after finishing fourteen points ahead of three-time defending champions Michigan in the team standings.
