Due to the inability to produce an accurate relay report from USA Swimming for the entire year, the Board of Directors voted at the July 17, 2024 Board Meeting to suspend the Relay of the Year awards for this year. However, we recognized the following relays who broke a Pacific Swimming Relay Record during the 2023-24 season.
