All-Stars
Every year Pacific Swimming puts together teams for All-Star meets. Each team has varying levels of requirements and restrictions for eligibility. More complete information regarding each of these meets, including applications, will be posted when it is available.
Pacific Coast All-Star Meet
Each January, Pacific Swimming takes up to 32 swimmers to the Pacific Coast All-Star Meet to compete against teams from Oregon, Pacific Northwest, and Southern California. To be eligible, a swimmer must be between the ages of 11-14 and a current member of Pacific Swimming.
The 2023 Pacific Coast All-Star meet will be hosted by the Pacific Northwest LSC and takes place in Snohomish, WA, on January 7-8, 2023. 32 swimmers will be selected to compete (age groups 11-12, and 13-14).
Stay tuned for more details to come later.
Pacific Swimming Zone Challenge
Each March, all five zones (1N, 1S, 2, 3, 4) select up 64 swimmers, ages 14 & under, to compete in the PC Zone Challenge Meet. To be eligible to participate in this meet a swimmer cannot have competed in either Western Zones, North American Challenge Cup, or Pacific Coast All-Stars.
The 2022 meet will be held on February 22, 2022, in Zone 2. Stay tuned for more details.
Western Zone All-Star Meet
Pacific Swimming takes up to 72 swimmers to the Western Zone All-Star Meet to compete against teams from Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Generally held in early August, Pacific Swimming athletes ages 14 & under who have met the meet time standards, and have not competed in an individual event at Junior or Senior Nationals, are eligible to apply.
The Western Zone Age Group Championship will be held August 3-6, 2022 in Elk Grove, CA.

USA Swimming announced a 10-meet domestic schedule for 2023 on Wednesday, including its qualifying meet for the World Championships and four Pro Swim Series stops.

Dates for 2023 events are here⤵️
— USA Swimming (@USASwimming) July 13, 2022
The competition schedule will feature the 2023 International Team Trials taking place from June 27-July 1 in Indianapolis.
“Our goal is to provide as much clarity as possible regarding next year’s calendar as early as possible, enabling our members to develop training regimes that optimize performance while allowing membership to organize their year accordingly,” USA Swimming President & CEO Tim Hinchey said.
“We are investing in quality competitions at a cadence that will set athletes up for success and will look to finalize locations for every event as soon as possible.”
The dates for the International Team Trials leave just two weeks between the end of the Trials and the beginning of the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, which will take place July 14-30.
The competition schedule for Fukuoka has yet to be released, so it’s possible there’s a three-week break for the swimmers between competitions if pool swimming falls during the second week of Worlds (it was in Week 1 this year in Budapest).
This year, U.S. World Championship qualifiers had seven weeks between Trials and Worlds, which was abnormally long after the dates for Worlds were pushed back and USA Swimming kept its late April Trials date in Greensboro.
During Olympic years, the gap between Trials and the Games has typically been one month.
Indianapolis has been a go-to stop for USA Swimming meets over the years, including hosting USA Swimming’s World Championship Trials in 2017.
2023 USA Swimming Schedule

USA Swimming confirmed that the International Team Trials would be used for selection for the 2023 World Championships, while selection for the 2024 Worlds in Doha remains TBD.
The Pro Swim Series will have four stops in Knoxville, Tenn., Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Westmont, Ill., and Mission Viejo, Calif., all of which will come before World Trials.
This year, PSS meets were held in both Westmont and Mission Viejo, while the scheduled stop in Knoxville was canceled due to COVID-19.
As has been common in past years, the Junior National and U.S. National Championships will fall during back-to-back weeks at the same location next year, taking place in Irvine, where the 2022 Nationals will be in two weeks’ time.
Locations for the U.S. Open and the Speedo Winter Junior Championships (East and West) toward the end of the year remain TBD.
