YMCA Nationals – April 12 – 15, 2012

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Tampa Metropolitan YMCA aims for a big meet each year at the YMCA Masters Nationals. We've made a big splash with a small team – multiple individual and relay national champions over multiple years. We swim by our motto -- “Train Race Give Win”... and have fun!

Eligibility

YMCA Masters Nationals is open to full YMCA members and program (or “community members”) in good standing as of January 10, 2012.

The current eligibility rules allows “program members” to be eligible for competition in the YMCA National Swim Competition. It also allows for out of area participants to become “program members” by paying a one-time fee and be “attached” 90 days prior to the meet.
