A total of 64 student-athletes from around the world have earned swimming and diving NCAA All-America honors as Huskers. The 63 Husker All-Americans have come to Nebraska from nine countries, including Americans from 18 states.

In all, Huskers have combined for 254 All-America awards, while 32 Huskers have been multi-time All-Americans.

Julia Russell owns the distinction of earning the most All-America certificates as a Husker swimmer with 18 awards from 1994 to 1997.  Russell is one of seven Huskers to earn 10 or more All-America awards, including NCAA Champion Penny Heyns (15), Melanie Dodd (15), Helene Muller (15), Therese Alshammar (13), Dana Powers (10) and Shandra Johnson (10).

Alshammar, who captured her 13 All-America awards in just two seasons at Nebraska, went on to become the first female swimmer in history to appear in six Olympic Games, including the 2016 Rio Olympics for her native Sweden.
