Long Course Nats come to Indy

Thanks to Indy SwimFit for hosting the Long Course National Championships in August. Some showed up to set records, others arrived just to see what was happening. Some showed because, hey, this is what we do.

Whether you were there for the swimming, the camaraderie or drinks on Mass Ave., it was one of the best-organized meets of the decade.

Hundreds of swimmers from across the nation converged at the Nat in Indianapolis, and none of them were let down. About 1150 swimmers attended, setting 50 World and 125 National records.  Swimmers came from as far as Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Canada, Costa Rica and Russia.  Relay Day was a tremendous success!

Thanks to Indy SwimFit for five-days of fun and months of hard work ahead of time.
