Even though the UCLA basketball team did not make a trip to Indianapolis, another UCLA team did. Indianapolis was the site of the 1997 NCAA Swimming and Diving Division I Women's Championships from March 20 to 22, where UCLA's swim team was well-represented.

Lindsay Etter led the swimmers with a third-place finish in the 100-meter breaststroke (1:00.77) and a fourth-place finish in the 200-meter breaststroke (2:11.59). She was also a member of the 400-meter medley team that was disqualified. Other Bruins swimming in that event were Jill Jenkins, Keiko Price and Susan Trainer.

The 200-meter medley squad of Amanda Hall, Amber Wines, Trainer and Price placed eighth with a time of 1:42.26.

Cindy Bertelink put forth a 10th-place performance in the 1,650-meter freestyle event, swimming to a 16:26.42 finishing time. She finished 11th in the 500-meter freestyle competition, with a time of 4:48.20.

Price finished in 11th place in her best event, the 50-meter freestyle. Her time was 22.94. In the 100-meter freestyle race, Price swam the event in 51.64, garnering 17th place overall. She also swam the second leg of the 200-meter freestyle relay, helping Jenkins, Trainer and Jaclyn Castellano complete a 1:32.69, 11th-place finish.

All other Bruin relay squads took 12th place. Bertelink, Trainer, Castellano and Price finished the 800-meter freestyle relay with a time of 7:22.96. Jenkins later joined Price, Trainer and Castellano for the 400-meter freestyle relay, in which they had a time of 3:23.45.

Other results had Jenkins placing 38th in the 100-meter butterfly (56.48), Trainer finishing 24th in the 200-meter freestyle (1:49.36), and Hall placing 29th in the 200-meter backstroke (2:01.09) and 32nd in the 100-meter backstroke (56.71).

The divers did not place in any of the events.
