Each year, Seton Swimming takes qualifying swimmers and divers to the National Catholic High School Championship meet at Loyola University of Baltimore. Because this meet has a qualifying standard that must be met in order to earn the right to swim at the meet, we generally go to Baltimore with just our “A” Relays and several individual qualifiers.
This year, the meet is on Saturday January 17 and Sunday January 18, 2026. The format will be very similar to prior years with the following sessions:
- Girl’s Preliminaries – Saturday morning (warm-up 7:00 a.m.)
- Boy’s Preliminaries – Saturday afternoon (warm-up 12:30 p.m.)
- Girl’s Diving – Saturday evening (warm-up 5:30 p.m.)
- Boy’s Diving – Sunday morning (warm-up 7:00 a.m.)
- Boy’s and Girl’s Finals – Late Sunday morning and afternoon (warm-up 10:15 a.m.)

Here are our final entries for the Meet. I will submit them on Monday, January 12th. (For qualifiers, remember that events #25 and higher are bonus events for swimmers who qualify for at least one event between #1 and #24). We are bringing “A” Relays, plus we may bring “B” Relays where we have enough extra swimmers who have qualified individually:

The beautiful Madison House, Museum in a Mansion, is no longer a rental property, so for the swimmers, we have rented a Boy’s swim house and a Girl’s swim house, a Dive Team house.

Because the diving team is on a completely different schedule, we have once again rented a separate house just for them. Here is a link to the AirBnB listing (Thank you Mrs. Condon). Charming Victorian home in Roland Park, Baltimore:
