GREENSBORO, N.C.—The University of Pittsburgh opened the 2021 ACC Swimming & Diving Championships with several strong diving performances and two strong relay swims.
A pair of Panthers scored in both diving events to open the four-day conference meet at the Greensboro Aquatic Center.

Dylan Reed (16th, 296.80) and freshman Jackson Salisbury (24th, 264.95) boosted the Pitt men's total by 12 points.
