LYNCHBURG, Va. – The Emory & Henry College Women's Swimming Teams concluded the 2020-21 season over the weekend at the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Championships. This year's meet was held at the Liberty University Natatorium. The E&H women claimed fourth place out of nine competing schools as all seven women scored points.

This year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to allow the teams to travel back and forth to their campuses each day, the meet was contested over two days, Friday and Sunday, in a timed finals format as opposed to the four-day, prelims and finals format of previous years.
