To be included on the CSC Academic All-District teams, men's and women's swimming student-athletes were required to meet certain qualification criteria. All nominees must have completed at least one calendar year at their current institution while having cumulative grade-point averages of 3.5 or higher, being key starters or reserves on their team, and having strong athletic accomplishments, statistics, and accolades.

All-District student-athletes were nominated by athletics communication professionals who are members of CSC. Nominators could submit up to four deserving student-athletes per team.

The Penn State Altoona men's and women's swimming teams each placed third in their respective Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Championship meets, and both squads set new program records for points during the conference finals, as the men's team racked up 461.5 points and the women's team accumulated 614.5 points.
