2025 U.S. NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

The 2025 U.S. National Championships, which serve as the sole qualifying meet for Team USA’s World Championship roster in Singapore, will kick off tomorrow at the Indiana University Natatorium in Indianapolis, with racing running through Saturday, June 7.

Prelims will take place each morning at 10 a.m. (ET), with finals beginning at 7 p.m. (ET). The distance session on Tuesday is scheduled for 4:15 p.m. (ET), while Saturday’s distance session is set for 3:30 p.m. (ET).

For those on the U.S. West Coast, that’s 7 a.m. (PT) for all prelims sessions and 4 p.m. (PT) for finals. The distance events will air at 1:15 p.m. (PT) on Tuesday and 12:30 p.m. (PT) on Saturday.

All sessions of the meet will be streamed for free on the USA Swimming Network. The platform is available on all major connected TVs, mobile devices, and desktop computers.

Peacock will also stream each of the finals sessions live throughout the meet, but not prelims or either distance session. The platform is pay-to-watch and offers two subscription plans: Premium and Premium Plus. Premium, which includes ads, costs $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year. Premium Plus, which is ad-free and includes access to your local NBC channel, costs $13.99 per month or $139.99 per year.

The app is not showing distance events that were supposed to be on at 3:30 pm ET?

I was watching the day 4 prelims this morning but now there is no link for the afternoon events on the USA Swimming Network app. What am I missing?

Never used USA Swimming Network before. Will it post recordings of the sessions after they are finished? Any easy way to watch the events after they are completed or start the stream from the beginning while it’s going on?

No, the thoughtlessness that went into the USA Swimming Network shows the lack of empathy these megalomaniacs have. Or had, one would think the current group would realize how we want to use it and make the necessary changes. Instead, it seems they have hired a company to create fake comments with fake ratios…I feel like I’m reading Amazon product reviews.

im pretty sure on the app you can watch past livestreams… either way final races will be posted, but I dont think you can start from beginning after it started

Mijatovic not on the heat sheets for the 1500…that’s too bad. Hope he’s not sick.

Michael Andrew will not make the final of the men’s 100 meter breaststroke because the LA organizers fueled his I’m too lazy to do anything over 50m attitude
