If your swimmer has not signed up for Marlinator yet, now is the time!

Registration closes tomorrow as we finalize the bracket for this year's competition.

Marlinator is one of the most fun traditions of the season. This freestyle, head-to-head competition uses an NCAA tournament-style bracket to determine the ultimate Marlinator champion.

Here's how it works:

🏊 Swimmers race head-to-head in freestyle.

🏆 The competition is single elimination. Win and advance. Lose and join the cheering section.

⏱️ Seed times are based on this season's meet results. One swimmer receives a head start so that if both swimmers swim their best time, they touch the wall at the same time.

🐟 8 & Under swimmers race 25 yards. Swimmers ages 9 and older race 50 yards.

🎉 Every race is exciting, and every swimmer has a chance. Younger swimmers often surprise everyone by dropping time and advancing through the bracket.

We'll recognize:

• Sweet 16
• Elite 8
• Final Four
• 2026 Marlinator Champion

Marlinator is all about cheering for teammates, beating your best time, and having fun.

Please log in to SwimTopia (mayfairswim.com > Meets & Events > 2026 Meets > Marlinator) and register your swimmer by tomorrow if they would like to participate.

We can't wait to see the bracket come together.

Go Mayfair! 🐟💙
