The 1959 NCAA swimming and diving championships were contested on March 26−28, 1959 at Teagle Pool at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York at the 23rd annual NCAA-sponsored swim meet to determine the team and individual national champions of men's collegiate swimming and diving among its member programs in the United States. Including the pre-NCAA championships 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.
Michigan once again retained the national title, the Wolverines' ninth (and third consecutive), after finishing a record ninety-three points ahead of Ohio State in the team standings.[2]
