2017 YMCA LONG COURSE NATIONALS
(Click link) It's my pleasure to announce that the 2017 YMCA Long Course National Championship will be held July 31 through August 4 at the Greensboro Aquatics Center in Greensboro, North Carolina. As 2017 will represent the first time we will be holding both our Short Course and Long Course National Championships in the same location, it's important that you know why. Our decision to bring Long Course to Greensboro next year was made for three reasons: 1. Our options were limited. Most of the other aquatic centers that have 50 meter pools are simply not available on the dates we requested, and those that are available cannot accommodate our needs. 2. We have an outstanding relationship with the Greensboro Aquatic Center. In the years we have held Short Course at the GAC, we have benefitted from what has become a true partnership with the staff there. They know us well, greatly value our business, and are willing to work with us in ways that others are not. This has very positively impacted our ability to deliver a high quality "Y" experience for everyone attending Short Course and will no doubt have the same impact on Long Course. 3. Travel to and lodging in Greensboro are very reasonable, especially compared to other cities. We've heard your concerns and we are committed to keeping costs - ours and yours - as low as possible. To this end, bringing Long Course to Greensboro in 2017 is a no-brainer. We recognize that for some of you two trips to one location in the same year is not ideal. However, know that we are approaching 2017 as a year of transition, one that will give us the opportunity to continue to evaluate potential locations for both championships alongside everyone's ideals and then pursue long-term commitments that target the proverbial "sweet spot". As we do this, we continue to welcome your thoughts and feedback. Shortly, you will receive a separate email from YMCA Competitive Sports Housing with detailed information about making hotel reservations for Long Course. In the meantime, you can begin reviewing your options at our housing website, http://www.cvent.com/d/1vql8q. If I may answer any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks for your understanding, support, and ongoing commitment to helping our young athletes realize their full potential through Y swimming. Best, Spencer Thank you for transforming lives.

PARKING AT IUPUI
(Click link) There is parking available for Coaches, Officials, Volunteers and Spectators in the Sports Garage attached to the natatorium. The garage is capable of handling vehicles as large as a 16 passenger van. Do not park in spots which are marked for Permanent Permit Holders Only. Any other spot may be utilized. There are two methods to pay for parking in this garage:
Remember another option is to leave the car in the Hotel Garage and walk to the Natatorium. Many of the downtown hotels are 0.7 to 1.0 miles from the Natatorium. The last half of the walk is on sidewalks through grassy areas on campus or alongside the picturesque canal system. Coaches will have the ability to order their parking passes during the online entry process, have it included on their invoice and pay for it as part of their check-in. Coaches will receive a Six Day Parking Pass (Tuesday through Sunday) for $36 each. Teams traveling by bus may purchase a bus parking pass for a street level lot on campus. The cost for the weekly bus pass will be $72. Coaches ONLY may pick up their Six Day Parking Pass on Tuesday between 10 AM and 4 PM in the North Concourse or at Coach Check-In. Spectators and Officials can pre-purchase parking passes online using the Ticket and Parking Pass link for the article. The Pre-Purchased Parking Pass offering is a Five Day Parking Pass (Wednesday through Sunday) for $30. All people arriving to pick up their Pre-Purchased Parking Pass should park on levels 5 or 6 of the Riverwalk Garage (located just south of the Sports Garage). You will obtain a ticket when you enter. After obtaining your Pre-Purchased Parking Pass you may exit the Riverwalk Garage by swiping your parking pass when you exit to open the gate. You may dispose of the ticket you received on entry. If when arriving to pick up your Pre-Purchased Parking Pass you chose to park in the Sports Garage you will have to pay with your credit card to enter and this cost will not be refunded. Pre-Purchased Parking Passes for spectators and officials may be picked up beginning Wednesday at the Admission Wristband/Heat Sheet Sales Table in the North Concourse of the Natatorium. For those spectators who fail to take advantage of the online purchase opportunity, we will have a limited quantity of weekly parking passes available for sale on July 27 at the Natatorium. When the limited quantities of parking passes at the Natatorium are depleted we will be unable to offer any additional passes. Please understand we will not be able to replace Parking Passes if they are lost. ....More
