Loyola University Maryland is proud to host the 84th National Catholic High School Swimming and Diving Championship Meet. The National Catholic Championships will be held on the weekend of January 14th and 15th, 2023 at the Mangione Aquatic Center on the Evergreen campus of Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore.

Again this year there will be separate diving sessions. The girls will dive Saturday evening after the boys swimming prelims, and the boys will dive Sunday morning prior to the swimming finals.

Diving will be included in the overall team score as opposed to a separate diving title.

If a swimmer makes one time standard, he or she may swim in one other individual event in which he or she does not have the standard, but he or she may not exceed four events in the meet, including individual and relay events, of which no more than two may be individual events. A swimmer who is entered as part of a relay that qualifies may also compete in two individual events without the time standard.

Non-scoring B relays may be entered for any school that has entered an A relay. These B relays do not have to achieve the time standard to be included. Swimmers on the B relay may also swim in two individual events without meeting the time standard. These exhibition relays cannot advance to the Final or Consolation heat unless these heats are not filled with A relays. Individual swimmers who compete on B relays may advance to A relays.

This meet will be both a H.S. sanctioned meet as well as a USA swimming observed meet.

Best wishes for a successful season. We hope to see you at the National Catholic Meet!

Sincerely,

Brian Loeffler, Meet Director
