This will be the 15th BIG EAST Championship held at the Nassau County Aquatic Center. The facility is widely recognized as one of the finest swimming facilities in the U.S., regularly hosting major swimming and diving competitions. The 80,000-square-foot center includes a "stretch" 50-meter pool that is 68 meters long, with three movable bulkheads. The pool setup varies, with 50-meter, 25-yard, and/or 25-meter lap lanes, depending on the pool setup. There is a diving well with a 10-meter competition diving tower — the only such tower in the New York metropolitan area — and 1- and 3-meter springboards. The seating area can accommodate up to 1,700 spectators.
The BIG EAST Swimming & Diving Championships return to Long Island after taking place at the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio last season. In that event, the Villanova women captured their eighth consecutive BIG EAST title with 906.5 points, besting second-place UConn by 68.5 points. On the men's side, Xavier took home the crown for the third straight year and fifth time in program history, totaling 862.5 points. The Villanova men finished second with 685.5 total points.
