2026 Summer Nationals in Sacramento- Outdoor or Indoor Pool?

Will the 2026 Summer Nationals in Sacramento be held in an outdoor or indoor pool?  August in Sacramento is BRUTALLY hot, averaging in the 90's but often getting up to 100+ degrees.

Parents
  • It will be outdoors at the beautiful North Natomas Aquatics Complex, which opened in 2022 and has/will host large events such as the Pacific SCY Championships (43 swimmers in May 2024), TYR Pro Swim Series (coming up in April 2025), etc. The average high in August is 92 and the average low is 59. We'll do our best to prepare for a warm event like USMS has done recently in other locations such as Sarasota and Mesa.

  • Good thing I have become a Sprinter - my wife would never let me swim a mile and get my skin burned ... just joking of course although I will get a lot of reminders no matter what - Sacramento - AWESOME !!

  • Once again, it's a no-go for me, especially after what I experienced in Mesa back in 2011.  Having dysautonomia with an intolerance for heat, that kind of heat is dangerous for me.  Too bad I can't participate; my sister lives in Sacramento.
