Plan Ahead AG Champs Spectator Limitations
The 2026 North Carolina Swimming 14&U Age Group Championship will be here before you know it and will once again be hosted by TAC in Cary, February 26-March 1. This meet is the premier event for 14&U aged swimmers with over 800 swimmers competing!
In an effort to host the best meet possible and make it safe and comfortable for both athlete and spectators, spectator limits with a wristband system is a must and will once again be used for the 12&U sessions Friday-Sunday. This was instituted last year with great success. At this time, there is not a need for wristbands for Thursday evening and 13-14 prelim/finals sessions.
Like last year, custom wristbands will be delivered to clubs with meet qualifiers once the initial entry deadline passes on February 17. Each club will be asked to designate a club contact for these wristbands. The wristbands will be distributed to spectators in a way determined by each club. The number of wristbands received will be based on a percentage of overall meet participants.
Swimmers will be seated on the pool deck during the competition and are not allowed in the spectator area. A visit by the local Fire Marshall in 2024 has resulted in the institution of this new process to control the size of the gallery. This is for the safety of EVERYONE. These swimmers work very hard to qualify and this wristband system helps ensure a smooth meet. Feedback from teams of every size was very positive and people worked well together so that everyone could see their child swim. We expect the same this year.
Thank you for your understanding and your efforts toward continuing to help make North Carolina Swimming the best!

2026 NCS SCY CHAMPIONSHIP THEME
NCS Elf “Bubbles” Arrives
Welcome Letter from “Bubbles”:
Hello North Carolina Swimming Family!
I’ve just splashed in from the North Pole, trading snowflakes for water splashes — the kind that sparkle off the pool when your strokes are fast and your spirits are high! My name is Bubbles, your official NC Swimming Elf, here to bring holiday cheer, big smiles, and a sprinkle of magic to every lane, deck, and meet this season.
Coach Santa sent me on a special assignment: to celebrate your hard work, champion your team spirit, and remind every swimmer that the JOY of the sport is the real holiday miracle. While I’m here, I’ll be keeping an eye on:
✨ Kindness in and out of the pool
✨ Encouraging teammates when practice gets tough
✨ Respecting coaches, officials, and volunteers
✨ Celebrating every small victory — from best times to best attitudes
✨ Keeping the holiday spirit alive with laughter, gratitude, and FUN
I might pop up in silly places, cheer from the blocks, time imaginary races, or leave little messages of motivation — you never know where I’ll be next! But one thing’s for sure… I’m your biggest fan this December. Thank you for welcoming me into the NC Swimming family. Let’s make this season fast, festive, and full of magic! Swim fast, be kind, and keep Believing!
Cheers, Bubbles Your NC Swimming Elf
Welcome December: Mid-Season MAGIC
HAPPY THANKSGIVING NCS
