TSA Championship Meet

TSA Swimmers — Get Ready for Champs!

The TSA Championship Meet is one of the most exciting events of the season, held near the end of the regular dual meet schedule. All TSA member teams are invited to participate — and swimmers of all skill levels are encouraged to join in!

✅ There’s no limit to how many swimmers can attend from your team — even if it’s just one! As long as a coach is present, any swimmer is welcome. If a swimmer wants to compete but their coach isn’t able to attend, please reach out — we’ll help make arrangements.

This meet is a great opportunity for every swimmer who can swim unassisted — not just your fastest athletes!

🚫 Special Note for 6 & Unders: Swimmers in this age group must be able to complete the full 25-yard length of the pool on their own. No “kid catchers” or shortened distances (like 15 yards/meters) are allowed. All standard TSA rules apply — there are no exceptions to technical requirements for 6 & under events.

** Please convert all 15 meters and 15 yards times to 25 yards. You can download this excel converter to do so. **

We can’t wait to see you at the pool for this unforgettable meet! 🏊♂️🏅
