USA Swimming has announced its first ever Short Course Meters selection meet, which will take place October 28-31 at FMC Natatorium. The new event will serve as the primary selection opportunity for the 2026 Short Course World Championships in Beijing, giving athletes a direct, head to head pathway to qualify for the U.S. team just weeks before international competition.
This meet marks a shift toward a dedicated short course selection process, designed to better reflect current SCM performance and provide top domestic athletes a clear opportunity to compete for roster spots, prize money, and international representation on U.S. soil.
Expect fast swims, close finishes, and an electric atmosphere as every race could decide who represents the United States on the global stage!
