The World Championships and U.S. Junior National Championships wrapped up on Sunday, but the beat goes on at the William Woollett Aquatics Center in Irvine with the U.S. Summer Championships set to kick off on Tuesday.
The Summer Championships are serving as a late summer taper meet for American swimmers who didn’t qualify for the World Championships, giving them a target after the U.S. National Championships (World Trials) concluded in early June.
The competition will have more meaning than simply going for victories and personal best times, however, as it will serve as one of the five meets being used to select the U.S. team at the 2026 Pan Pacific Championships. It will be the fourth of five qualifying meets to take place, with June’s Nationals, July’s World University Games and the recently concluded World Championships already in the books, and the World Junior Championships set to get underway in two weeks.
Below, find all the links you need to follow along with the U.S. Summer Championships:

PSYCH SHEETS & KEY NAMES TO WATCH
The competition will feature several U.S. Olympians from last summer, plus a pair of swimmers who were representing the stars and stripes at last week’s World Championships, but headlining the psych sheets is Caeleb Dressel.
Dressel, a nine-time Olympic gold medalist and 15-time LC world champion, opted to sit out of the U.S. National Championships in June, leaving him off the U.S. World Championship roster, but he’ll be in the field this week with a shot at qualifying for Pan Pacs next year. The 28-year-old holds entries in the men’s 50 free, 50 fly and 100 fly.
Other key names to watch include 2025 U.S. World Championship team members Claire Weinstein and Bella Sims, former world record holder Hunter Armstrong, and fellow 2024 Olympians Kieran Smith, Alex Shackell and Aaron Shackell.

The meet can be streamed live on the USA Swimming Network app, which is available on all major connected TV devices, mobile devices, and desktops. Find full info and download links to your app of choice here.
Hoping SS can do a Pan Pacs team update either running or at the end of the meet. So far we know the men’s backstrokers were faster at WUGs. Anyone else?

App is the worst. Unless it was intended to create annoyance with USA Swimming, if that was the plan then it is very successful.
How many hours until start?
do we really think the sandpipers girls are gonna race? debating on whether or not to drive an hour and watch
1hr, oh C’mon, just go and enjoy yourself regardless of who shows up to race. We drive almost an hour each way, twice a day to train here in Australia.
bro i live on the East Coast and i want to drive there just for Dressel.
Just go. do it for me lol
I have a good feeling that Dressel goes 22 in 50 fly here or at least 23.1
He needs to beat 21.68, 23.21, and 50.70
I think all three are very attainable.
This app SUCKS dude
Well, based on Instagram, Caeleb is there
Who is Hunter Armbruster from Australia? Ben‘s brother?
Nah pretty sure it’s a typo as Ben is there.
