CSU-Bakersfield, Grand Canyon, and Seattle will be joined by affiliates Air Force, North Dakota, UNLV, and Wyoming. The WAC actually sponsored Men's Swimming from its founding in 1962 up until the 1999-2000 season.
North Dakota is already a member of the WAC in women's swimming.
Also, are the Pacific Men and Pepperdine women going to be independent next season? Pacific is in the MPSF and Pepperdine is listed as independent on the NCAA Sports Sponsorship page. It would make sense for them to join the WAC.
UALR will also be looking for a new home for women's swimming, as all of their Sun Belt Conference mates with programs are leaving for Conference USA.
Should the WAC dismantle the Summit League, they will have six for men (Denver, Eastern Illinois, IUPUI, South Dakota, South Dakota State, Western Illinois) and seven for women next season (the same plus Omaha).
