What is the Miklin Duel of the East?

The Duel of the East (proudly sponsored by Miklin) was created for older teens and adults – a place where swimming isn’t about chasing Olympic dreams, but about celebrating the sport we love. Too often, swimmers who don’t make it to the elite level feel like their journey ends… but why should it?

This event keeps the fire alive with a competition that’s fun, supportive, and action-packed. It’s about:

• Friendly rivalry with like-minded swimmers.

• Racing with friends from other Metro Areas

• Unique, not-so-common events you won’t see at Age Group meets.

• Team spirit, positivity, and flexibility – because fun should come first.

• And yes, there’s even prize money on the line!

The Miklin Duel of the East is about building an exciting, welcoming competition for those who love swimming, beyond the age group scene. Let’s keep the sport alive, thriving, and fun – together.
