The event will take place at the Miami Country Day Aquatic Center, an outdoor venue, in Miami Shores, Florida, which is Barry's home pool. The Buccaneers and Red Leafs are both Division II schools competing in the Sunshine State and the Great Northwest Athletic Conferences, respectfully.

Currently, BGSU is on their training trip in the Sunshine State and are doing their training activities in the Orlando area before heading south for the tri-meet. No diving events will take place.
