This is not a fancy trip.
This is a group of swim kids, coaches, & chaperones hanging out in the hotel playing cards, painting fingernails, splashing in the tiny hotel pool, eating pizza, making memories and having an amazing experience! We want as many kids to have this experience as possible in a fun & healthy way.
Attending Trials is an AMAZING experience. Four of us went to Trials in Omaha in 2021. We met so many Olympians. We got to see Phelps and his family. We laughed, didn't sleep much, ate fast food and have a wonderful time.

- It is easy to spend $80+ on a sweatshirt in the Trials pro-shop.
