The ORCA Awards were created to honor the athletes, coaches, clubs, and community leaders who elevate the sport of swimming from the ground up.
This event shines a light on the people who build our sport every single day – from age group programs to grassroots efforts happening in pool decks across the country.
Across three unforgettable days in St. Petersburg, the ORCAs bring the swimming community together for celebration, education, and connection. Think of it as the ESPYs or Golden Globes – but specifically for our age group community.
The weekend includes:
Celebration of athletes, coaches, and clubs who make a difference.
Learn from top professionals, educators, and national team guests.
Meet innovators, clubs, and families from across the country.
Stay tuned to see which of your favorite national team athletes will be in attendance!
