TPC
Important Note (10/02/2025): We have restarted the bid process for he Summer 2026 champs meets for the following reasons:
- The weekend of Summer 2026 TAGS changed from the original assumption
- The TPC did not receive enough bids for certain meet series
- The TPC elected to re-visit the approach to summer meets in general to re-balance swimmer numbers at some of the meet series. Specifically, Gulf Age Group Champs will be adjusted downward in size and a 3rd site will be added to Gulf LC Summer Champs.
