The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) has selected the Youngstown State University men's and women's swimming and diving teams for Scholar All-American honors. Youngstown State was one of 461 schools to receive the award for the Spring semester. Teams were selected on the basis of their Spring grade-point averages and represent 17,982 student-athletes.

CSCAA Executive Director Greg Earhart mentioned the efforts of Coach Brad Smith noting that "No team was unaffected by this Spring's pandemic but Athletic Director Ron Strollo and President Jim Tressel can and should be proud of their team and the work of Brad."

Additional institutional adjustments to grading systems resulted in GPAs nearly one-quarter letter grade higher than previously. As a result, the CSCAA will not be publishing team GPAs. This semester's list also does not include teams at institutions that switched entirely to pass/fail grading.
