2021 USMS Short Course National Championship Meet Information

Jay Eckert

The 2021 USMS Short Course National Championship is planned for July 21-25 at the Greensboro Aquatic Center in Greensboro, North Carolina.

This meet, renamed from Spring Nationals just for this year, was postponed from April 29 - May 2 due the coronavirus pandemic. 

Precautions will be in place with the meet split into sessions and attendance limited. We look forward to safely welcoming Masters swimmers back to this annual championship. 

Entries will open May 24 and close June 21 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time unless capacity is reached prior to the June 21 deadline. Don't delay!

  • It mentions that entries close on June 21st unless capacity is met before June 21st. What is capacity? I didn't see a specific number anywhere.

    Since the event was postponed from April, the GAC is also rescheduling other programming to accommodate USMS Short Course Nationals. We've been able to reserve 10 hours each day (6am - 4pm) to hold the meet. We should be able to have 1000-1200 swimmers per day for Friday-Sunday split into sessions by age group, but the exact number will depend on the entries received and the estimated timeline. 

    The distance events (Wed-Thurs) will also be limited by the 10 hour max. We will close entries for those events if/when we've reached capacity. 

    During this unusual year this is still subject to change and we will confirm all details as we get closer to the meet.
