2021 Long Course Nationals Update #4

We'd like to give a special thank you to our volunteers, organizing committee, local community, and partners for making this event a reality.

Off the deck, we hope you enjoy exploring the Cleveland area and Ohio's wine country with a glass of local wine!

The 2021 USMS Long Course Nationals page is the location for all official information, including seeding information, heat/psych sheets, results, and live coverage (including a video stream) for your friends, family, and teammates to follow. Please carefully review all pre-event details to ensure a wonderful experience. The digital meet program with heat/psych sheets compiled is also available.

Please review and be prepared to follow the COVID-19 protocols to ensure a safe environment for all attendees. Do not attend if you’re experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19.

What To Do When You Arrive

Here is a map to help navigate the facility. Your first stop should be to the Check-In/Registration table at the building entrance to pick up the goody bag and hospitality passes. Certified coaches can also pick up their allotted hospitality passes at the check-in table. Spectators are encouraged to volunteer as timers or lap counters to get a front row seat!

Event Check-In

All events 200m and longer require positive check-in. The deadline has been moved to 7 p.m. Eastern time the day prior to the event (rather than 7 a.m. the morning of the event in previous years) so swimmers can be better prepared for when to arrive at the pool. Heat sheets for the following day's events will be posted online by approximately 8 p.m. Eastern time the night prior to the events.

For health and safety reasons, check-in will only be available online rather than both online and in-person like in previous years. If you need assistance, please visit the Solutions Table in the main lobby of the SPIRE Aquatics Center.
