One of East Carolina University’s sports directors, Tom McClellan, confirmed that the university is investigating an alleged hazing incident with the swim and dive program.
The Pirates’ men’s swim and dive team is looking for their fourth American Athletic Conference championship victory in a row, but currently both the men’s and women’s teams have been completely suspended from water and dryland activities, and have been so for a week.
The university released this statement in regards to the program: “There is an ongoing investigation into an alleged incident involving ECU’s swimming program. All team activities are on hold until the university’s inquiry has been completed.
