!
After nearly two years since our last in-person pool championship, we're thrilled to welcome you to Greensboro this week for a return to racing. We'd like to give a special thank you to our volunteers, organizing committee, local community, and partners for making this event a reality.
Off the deck, we hope you enjoy socializing with your fellow swimmers in the Golden Road beer garden, which opens at noon Friday-Sunday and cheering on Team USA at the Tokyo Watch Party Saturday evening.
Please carefully review all pre-event details to ensure a wonderful experience. Here's the estimated timeline, including warm-up times for each session. Heat sheets are now posted for the 50s, 100s, and 200s. The digital meet program with heat/psych sheets compiled is also available.

Before You Arrive
Review and be prepared to follow the COVID-19 protocols to ensure a safe environment for all attendees. Do not attend if you’re experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19. If you experience symptoms or test positive for COVID-19 within two weeks after the conclusion of the event, please contact Event Services.
Swimmers will only be able to enter the facility in sessions in which they are entered. Credentials, along with goody bags, will be provided at the registration table just outside the facility entrance. Review the facility map to get acquainted with the Greensboro Aquatic Center.
In order to receive a credential, swimmers MUST complete this form in advance. Note: This takes the place of the paper waiver swimmers have signed at previous USMS national championships. We are going green and streamlining the process. If you haven't already done so, please remember to complete this form prior to arriving in Greensboro.
