Swim Is Its Own Discipline.

Not folded into Triathlon, not an afterthought. Major U.S. open-water swims and national championship meets, in one place.

Showing races with a confirmed date from September 26, 2026 through the end of 2027. Every date below is checked against the event's own site or USA Swimming's published calendar. Events whose 2026/2027 dates haven't been officially announced yet are held off this list rather than guessed at, they'll be added the moment a real date is published.

Pool Championship Meets.

The national-tier meets, sourced from USA Swimming's published domestic calendar and each meet's own site.

No pool championship meet currently has a confirmed date inside our September 26, 2026 to December 31, 2027 window. Toyota U.S. Open Championships and the Speedo Winter Junior Championships are both expected in this window but USA Swimming hasn't posted exact 2026 dates yet, so they're held off this list rather than shown with a guessed or TBA date. They'll be added the moment real dates are published.
