2. The second is for new families on a first come first served basis beginning March 19, 2026.

Previous Swim Team families in good standing with their volunteer credits:

Registration opens March 15 at 8:00am.  It will close on March 18th at midnight.  

A private registration link will be shared with those families 24 hours before registration opens.

New Family Registration or those who may have fallen behind on volunteer credits

Registration opens as a link on our website Friday, March 19th at 8:00am and closes on March 23rd at midnight.  No registration link is required.

If any age group fills to capacity, then a wait list registration link will open to allow families to register for any spaces that may open once the season begins.  The wait list registrations are time stamped and will be filled in order of first come first served.  

The first week of swim team practice is the free week trial for all members.  The free week trial is:  May 12 through May 16.  If you are not able to attend any practices during this time, you may not be eligible for a refund to registration fees. 

Check 'Upcoming Events' (on the right) to stay up to date on upcoming scheduled events including, practices, meets, food trucks, parties, etc. The 2026 Meet Schedule is now uploaded. Mark your calendars for our mock meet plus 6 dual meets and the end of season, TSA League Championship meet! 

Meet & Volunteer sign-ups will open the third week of May 2026 at 12:00 PM for the mock meet & first 3 meets of the season. This is where you declare your swimmer's attendance or non-attendance to a meet. For the home or away meets that you plan to attend, you can also sign up for your volunteer job(s).

TSA CHAMPIONSHIP MEET 2026

The Tarheel Swimming Association will hold their annual Championship meet on Sunday, July 19, 2026 at the Triangle Aquatic Center. Any swimmer registered on our team is eligible to swim.

There are 4 sessions for 4 different age groups:

• 8 and under  
• 9/10  
• 11/12  
• 13 and over  

Session details and tentative warm-up times are communicated closer to the meet date. However, times may vary once all teams enter their swimmers. A final timeline is shared once the meet entry deadline passes.

You may sign your swimmer up for this meet on our team website. Meet entry typically opens in early-mid July. There will be no late entries due to the very nature of this meet and the manual labor it takes to seed a meet with up to 88 teams & over 1,150 swimmers.

Note: 6 and under swimmers are allowed to participate in 2 individual events plus up to 2 relays. 8 and older swimmers may compete in 3 individual events plus up to 2 relays.

Participation in the meet requires an additional fee of $15.00 per swimmer regardless of age and/or number of events. You will need to pay the meet entry fee online (go to 'Swim Swag' tab to pay) when you sign your swimmer up for this meet. Our coaching staff will not enter any swimmer who has not paid the entry fee into the meet. We do not offer refunds for this meet entry fee, because once a swimmer is entered into the meet, our club owes the league the fee.

This meet is 100% run by volunteers. Thus, each team is required to send volunteers to assist on deck and/or for donating hospitality items. If you plan on sending a swimmer to the meet, then please plan to volunteer your time. Volunteer sign up link will be added here when we are closer to the meet date.

If you plan on sending your swimmer, a liability waiver will need to be signed. A link to the waiver will be added here when we are closer to the meet date.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Tracey Mizelle or Coach Katia. We are excited to bring a group to TSA Champs.
