The U.S. swimming roster for next summer’s Pan Pacific Championships, the major international meet of 2026, is set after the end of the last qualifying meet, last month’s World Junior Championships.
Pan Pacs, held every four years but skipped in 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is for countries outside of Europe. Top American swimmers are usually challenged by those from Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Japan and South Africa.
The 2026 Pan Pacs will be next Aug. 12-15 in Irvine, California, marking the first time the U.S. hosts a major international long-course meet since the 2010 Pan Pacs, which were also in Irvine.
Once an American qualifies for Pan Pacs in one event, they are free to swim the rest of the individual events at the meet. Traditionally, a nation can qualify a maximum of two swimmers per A final, though.
The U.S. roster for Pan Pacs — 26 pool swimmers per gender — was determined by best times from high-level 2025 meets: the Toyota U.S. Championships, World Championships, World University Games, World Junior Championships and the Tyr Pro Summer Championships.
