USA Swimming Announces 2022 Trials Remains in April in Greensboro; TYR Pro Swim Series Scheduled for Early March Near Chicago
One day after FINA announced the addition of a World Championships in Budapest for the summer of 2022, USA Swimming has released a revised calendar of elite domestic events. The new schedule shows one additional meet and one change, but most significantly, the International Team Trials will remain in Greensboro, N.C., from April 26-30. That meet had been slated as the qualifier for the World Championships scheduled for late May in Fukuoka, Japan, and now, USA Swimming will keep the same location and date to select a team for Budapest.
Additionally, USA Swimming has added a new stop on the TYR Pro Swim Series: March 2-5 in Westmont, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. That will mark the first stop on the American pro circuit following cancellations of meets in Knoxville, Tennessee (scheduled for mid-January), and Des Moines, Iowa (originally scheduled for the same early March weekend).
The Pro Series meet in San Antonio in late March/early April remains as scheduled, while a late June stop in Mission Viejo, Calif., was moved from June 29-July 2 (which would overlap with the new World Championships) to June 1-4.
