MARLINATOR 2026 💥🐬

The most anticipated night of the season is back.

Beat your best time and your competitor to move one step closer to becoming the 2026 MARLINATOR. This fun, freestyle, head-to-head, single-elimination tournament (NCAA bracket style) is open to all ages.

Swimmers race the same distances as meets
• 8U: 25 yards
• 9+: 50 yards

Each race is seeded using 2026 meet times. One swimmer may have a head start so that if both swim their best time, they hit the wall together. First to the wall advances. The other heads to the cheer section.

We race through Sweet 16 → Elite 8 → Final Four → until one swimmer remains.

Tie-breakers will be used if needed. Prizes awarded at each level.

Started by Coach Rick Sadowski in 2014, Marlinator is all about racing, energy, and pushing for your best.

Bring the noise. Bring the energy. Let’s see who earns it. 🔥🐬💙
