2009 Schroeder YMCA Finalist

Sponsored by:  TYR

Thanks in advance for bringing your team to the 2009 Schroeder YMCA Finalist.  

The meet format is the same.  Our goal is to limit entries to around 4000 swims in 2009 and keep the meet a manageable size.  We will take entries on a first come, first served basis.  There are some light time standards (approx. USA Swimming’s “B”) for longer events and we ask that all athletes have an entry time for all of the events they have entered (please no N.T.’s).

The meet is a YMCA-only meet and will not be sanctioned, approved or observed by USA Swimming.

We hope that these measures give us a meet that is exciting and fun but does not kill everyone with overcrowding and sessions that take too long complete.  

As in 2008, parents from other teams who officiate will have their children’s meet fees refunded and there will be no charge for admission for the family.

I hope that you enjoy this year’s meet and if you have questions, please don’t hesitate to call or write.

Best wishes,


David Anderson and Matt Miller
