The Tritons will host five meets at Canyonview Aquatic Center on the La Jolla campus.
 
"I am excited for a great season," Djordjevic said. "As always we have exciting and competitive dual meet schedule against programs from ACC and BIG10 conferences to push us throughout the season."
 
Getting the season started with back-to-back meets, the Tritons will host northern foe, Cal on Oct. 11 and 12. Following Cal, the gold and blue will host Clairemont-Mudd Scripps for their annual dual meet on Oct. 19.
 
"We are excited that swimming and diving returns to Big West Conference," Djordjevic added. "With championships hosted in Houston, it will be a great championship atmosphere and pool of competition."
