Ever wished you could see your splits, lap count, and times in your goggle lens? Now is your chance. Visit the SwimOutlet booth to try the new Smart Goggle, Powered by Ciye™, which is designed to help swimmers improve and meet their fitness goals. The in-goggle display and activity tracker gives real-time feedback to help you track your distance and time allowing you to get the most out of your swim. Once you’re out of the water, the app provides in-depth analysis of your workouts, logs your history, and allows you to connect with friends and fitness apps.

Empty lanes can dampen competitive conditions, and we'd like to avoid that when possible. Events 400 yards and longer will require positive check-in the week of the event so no action is needed to scratch. If you're absolutely certain you won't be swimming any of the 50s, 100s, or 200s, please email Event Services to let us know. You'll be removed from those events before we seed the meet to cut down on empty lanes and provide for more competitive heats. Please note that once we take you out of an event, we cannot put you back in. Scratches will be accepted through July 12.

Coaches of a participating club may be eligible for an all-session credential based on the number of participants their club has in the meet. Here are more details.
The USMS Coaches Committee also assigns on-deck coaches each day of the meet as a service to all meet participants to help with starts, pace times, and directions. On-deck coaches can register now. A free T-shirt and hospitality pass will be provided on the day(s) coaches volunteer.
Swimmers: If you’re traveling without a coach and have questions, look for our friendly volunteer on-deck coaches in Greensboro. They’ll be wearing bright neon T-shirts.
