Since 1973, the Smoky Mountain Invitational has brought together the best summer swim teams from across the region for two days of fierce, joyful outdoor competition in the shadow of the Smokies.
All racing is done in outdoor pools — sun, crowd energy, and East Tennessee summer weather included.
25+ top programs, all ages, all strokes — this is a meet where records fall and swimmers rise to the moment.
Organized by the Maryville-Alcoa Flying Dolphins — a club with decades of meet-hosting experience.
