The 2004 NCAA Division I Men's Swimming and Diving Championships took place March 25–27, 2004 in the Nassau County Aquatic Center, East Meadow, New York. 21 champions were declared.
Similar to the 2000 NCAAs, the meet was held short course meters (25m), rather than the NCAA's traditional short-course yards format (25 yds). This allowed for World Records to be set at the meet.

Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways.”
—Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus 17:17-9.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Awareness of having better things to do with their lives is the secret to immunizing our children against false valueswhether presented on television or in real life. The child who finds fulfillment in music or reading or cooking or swimming or writing or drawing is not as easily convinced that he needs recognition or power or some high to feel worthwhile.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“all the fine
Points of diving feet together toes pointed hands shaped right
To insert her into water like a needle”
