USA Swimming Officials along with Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation Department will decide whether the Charlotte UltraSwim® Grand Prix Meet may be safely contested. It is our desire to host a complete meet but in some rare cases, sessions may be canceled for reasons that are beyond our control. While this would be a regrettable situation, we must adhere to our strict policy of No Refunds.

USA Swimming Broadcast Policy must be obeyed at all times. There are limitations imposed on the spectators at these meets and events, including coach, athlete and volunteer members of USA Swimming, prohibiting photographing, video taping and other audio/visual recordings for commercial non-personal use, broadcasting, publishing and disseminating the product for any and all commercial purposes. These recording, broadcasting, publishing and disseminating restrictions apply to all media, including such outlets as YouTube, etc. Any photographs, videotape or other audio and/or visual recordings of the event created by a spectator may be used solely for such spectator’s personal non-commercial use, and may not be broadcast, published or disseminated, or used for any commercial purposes, without the prior written consent of USA Swimming.

It remains the right of the Charlotte UltraSwim® Meet Management Committee to remove anyone who does not observe any of the above stated rules, or meet these expectations, who is, in the opinion of Meet Management, impeding the meet in any way, or who is causing a disruption that cannot be mediated.
