Brian McIver is one of the most decorated swimmers in school history, having captured 10 New England individual crowns and a pair of Eastern Intercollegiate titles. In addition, he was also a member of 10 Massachusetts relay teams that captured New England titles during his career, and set three individual school records, one of which still stands today.

McIver earned four letters as a member of the UMass swim team from 1987 through 1990, and claimed New England individual titles in the 100-yard free (46.17) in 1987, 50-yard free (21.21), 100-yard free (45.90), 200-yard free (1:40.79) in 1988, 50-yard free (20.95), 200-yard free and 100-yard free (45.28) in 1989 and 50-yard free (21.00), 100-yard free (44.72) and 200-yard free (1:38.53) in 1990. McIver also captured 1990 Eastern Intercollegiate crowns in the 50 and 100 freestyle events.

McIver is the only UMass swimmer to ever win an Eastern Collegiate title and was a four-time team MVP. The 20 New England titles (10 individual and 10 relay) are the most-ever won by an individual in the 70-plus year history of the New England Intercollegiate Swimming Championships. He also captured the 1990 Moriarty Award given to the senior who scores the most points at the Eastern Collegiate Swimming Championships.

Also a four-year letterman for the UMass water polo team from 1987-90, McIver earned all-New England honors in 1989 and 1990, and holds the school single-game steals record of six in a game against Harvard on Sept. 19, 1989.

A native of Medford, Mass., and a 1990 UMass graduate (sport management), he was inducted into the UMass Athletics Hall of Fame in 2002.
