WELCOME TO THE 2012 MISSOURI GRAND PRIX!

The 2012 Missouri Grand Prix is the sixth annual competition at the Mizzou Aquatic Center and part of the seven-meet Grand Prix series .

USA Swimming offered the Mizzou Aquatic Center a tremendous long-term opportunity to host one of the seven meets in the Grand Prix series in 2008 after an incredible debut event in 2007 at the Mizzou Aquatic Center. Olympic swimmers Michael Phelps, Natalie Coughlin, Chloe Sutton, Garrett Weber-Gale, Ryan Lochte, Aaron Peirsol, Dara Torres, and several others have competed in our Fast Water for the Missouri Grand Prix in the past, many of whom are likely to return for our upcoming event FEBRUARY 10 -- 12, 2012 on their way to Omaha, NE for the Olympic Trials, and ultimately to London for the 2012 Olympic Games.

The USA Swimming Grand Prix Series serves as an opportunity for athletes to race against top-notch competition and prepare for other Olympic and world-class competitions.  Other stops in the 2011-12 series include Minneapolis, MN; Austin, TX; Columbus, OH; Indianapolis, IN; Charlotte, NC; and Santa Clara, CA.

We look forward to seeing you at the event whether you are a spectator, staff, a volunteer, or an athlete! If you have never seen the incredible University of Missouri Student Recreation Complex or the Mizzou Aquatic Center, now is a great opportunity to see the facilities while witnessing elite competition at the Missouri Grand Prix.
