Critical Y Nat Changes

Below is important information for those that have qualified and have the potential to qualify for this year's upcoming YMCA National Championships.

Please take the time to read thoroughly as some of it is time sensitive - pre-purchase of tickets - and it is a change from what we know and have experienced in previous years at Y Nats.

What is the cause of these radical changes is the City of Fort Lauderdale has deemed the Grand Stand - spectator seating - structurally unsafe. The Meet Committee, Pool Complex Staff and City of Fort Lauderdale have been working feverishly to come up with a viable solution.

Although not ideal, it is what has been decided upon and we will make the most of the situation with our ultimate goal to swim fast under the sun.

The article below was sent to me last night and I have attached an easy-to-print document about the changes. Please contact me should you have any questions.
