Dive into the Excitement of USMS Nationals with your Teammates!

Entries Open Soon!

Hey Team,

Are you ready to make a splash at the USMS Summer Nationals? It’s not just a competition; it’s a celebration of our love for swimming!

Here’s why you should dive right in:

Everyone’s Welcome: Whether it’s your first national meet or you’re a seasoned pro, there’s a lane for you. You don’t need to be the fastest to enter – swim up to three events without qualifying times and enjoy the thrill of the race!

Surprise Yourself: Think you won’t score? You might surprise yourself! Many events offer the chance to earn points simply by finishing. Plus, relays are a game-changer, doubling your points and often scoring just by completing the race.

More Than a Meet: Nationals isn’t just for the ultra-competitive. It’s a fantastic social event where you can meet fellow swimmers from all over, reconnect with old friends, and be part of a community that shares your passion.

Personal Victories: It’s about individual goals, too. I Remember a swimmer who tackled the breaststroke for the first time at a national meet. She inspired us all, proving it’s never too late to set a new challenge for yourself.

No Qualifying Time? No Problem: Don’t have a qualifying time? Use your best practice time or an estimate. You’ll be seeded with swimmers of similar speeds, ensuring everyone has a fair and fun experience.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s show the Nationals what we’ve got – not just in speed, but in spirit! Join the team, make memories, and maybe even help us win, just like the swimmer’s mom who scored crucial points for the Nadadores. Let’s make waves together!

Ready to take the plunge? I hope you plan to attend!
