The Toyota US Open, which is set to begin next week November 12 – 14, will be split across nine different sites in order to lessen travel for swimmers and coaches and participate safely in a less crowded environment while still racing in a competitive format. The psych sheets for Indianapolis and Beaverton have been released with some big names out of the midwest slated to race at the Indianapolis meet.
While the tentpole fall event has traditionally featured 700-800 athletes in one location, the multi-site Toyota US Open, which will consist of four-timed finals sessions and both a women’s and men’s flight per session, will allow for more than 1,800 athletes to compete asynchronously from coast to coast. All local, state and federal health guidelines will be strictly adhered to at each competition site and entry limits will reflect these local restrictions. Results from each site will be combined by USA Swimming and published in a comprehensive results report.
