Whether you aspire to be an All-American or a weekend warrior, Swarthmore can help you reach your personal fitness and wellness goals.
Before COVID-19, 40% of students were involved in sports at some level, and 25% competed in varsity intercollegiate athletics as part of the NCAA Division III Centennial Conference.
