USA Swimming has released the attendance numbers for the 2026 U.S. National Championships and 2026 Pan Pacific Championships, which were held just two weeks apart at the William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center in Irvine, California in late July and mid-August.
As reported by Rich Perelman of The Sports Examiner, Nationals had a total attendance of 18,701, which factors in swimmers, coaches and spectators across five days of competition, with two sessions per day.
That averages out to 3,740 per day, or 1,870 per session.
According to the results, 809 swimmers were entered in the meet.
As for Pan Pacs, which had significantly fewer swimmers (275 entrants), attendance numbers came out to a total of 13,439 over four days of racing, averaging 3,360 per day or 1,680 per session, according to The Sports Examiner.
The William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center can seat approximately 700 spectators in its normal configuration, but for major competitions, with temporary bleachers put in, it can fit up to 4,000 fans, according to Concordia University Irvine.
USA Swimming previously hosted the Pan Pacific Championships in Irvine back in 2010, though official attendance numbers were not released.
USA Swimming reported 285,000+ spectators across 17 sessions of racing at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, which will host the Trials again in 2028. Last year, the 2025 Nationals, the World Championship selection meet hosted at the Indiana University Natatorium Indianapolis, had a capacity in the 4,700-seat range.
