I’m excited to share details about two upcoming national championship meets and invite you to join us as part of the Michigan Masters Nationals Team!
One of the great things about Michigan Masters is that we attend national meets as a Regional Team, meaning swimmers from across our entire state come together to race, cheer, and represent Michigan as one team. Swimmers of all levels are welcome — you do not need to be an elite swimmer to participate. Feel free to pass this information on to a friend or fellow athlete.
🎉 The Fun Stuff (and there’s a lot of it!) Nationals are about more than racing — they’re about community!

If you are currently unattached (UC19) or registered with a different USMS Masters team and would like to swim with Michigan Masters at Nationals, changing your team designation is quick and easy:
If you’ve ever thought about swimming a national meet, these two meets are a great opportunity — whether it’s your first time or your tenth. Michigan Masters shows up strong, supportive, and loud, and we’d love to have you be part of it. If you have questions or want help deciding whether a national meet is right for you, feel free to reach out.
I hope to see lots of Michigan Masters on deck this spring! Go Michigan Masters!
