2026 YMCA Masters National Meet
April 16 - 19, 2026
Location: Selby Aquatic Center
Sarasota, Florida
If you are interested in attending the YMCA Masters Nation meet, let Coach David know at marylandmastersspcc@gmail.com
​
Airlines: There are nonstop flights available to Sarasota or Tampa Bay from BWI. The pool is not within walking distance of a hotel, we are recommending to carpool back and forth to the pool, it is about a 10-15min drive. The team will be renting a van to transport up to 6 swimmers at a time. If anyone else is willing to rent a van to help transport the team please let me know.
​​
Hotels: Unlike Fort Lauderdale and Orlando there is not a convenient hotel within walking distance of the pool. We will have to drive between the hotel and pool each day. (10-15min drive) We do have a few hotel options depending if you want to be closer to the water or more inland. The hotels closer to the water are smaller and will not accommodate the entire team. The hotels more inland are bigger but are not near the beach. Since the team will be in different lodging accommodations we will find a central place, most likely the beach to meet each day for a team meeting and dinner.

YMCA Masters Nationals 2024
We had a very successful and fun YMCA Master Nationals. Our team did an amazing job taking 4th overall with 1,065.50 points. The top three teams all had double or triple the number of swimmers we had on our team. So 4th place was actually first place out of all the small teams. Going into the meet we had the sixth largest team. The women’s team got 4th overall and the men’s team got 5th overall. Congratulations to everyone at the meet.
We had a ton of new team records set and some YMCA National records along with a USMS National Record.

We had a very successful and fun YMCA Master Nationals. Our team did an amazing job taking 5th overall with 1,613.50 points. The fourth place team (Rite-Hite Family YMCA) only scored 74 more points than us even though they had 20 more swimmers! Everyone swam very well at the meet and it shows in the results. The women’s team got 3rd overall with 1,066.50 points, only 53.5 points away from the second place team. Congratulations to the women’s team.
We had a ton of new team records set and the mixed 75+ relay also set a YMCA National record in the 200 Medley. The record was last set in 2004. Please join me in congratulating the record breakers on some very fast swimming.

YMCA Masters Nationals 2022 (Sarasota, FL)
​
The 2022 Y Nationals team had a very fun and successful meet. Our team placed 4th overall in the combined team score, 2nd for the Women’s team and 4th for the Men’s team. Pretty good for only having 21 swimmers. There were almost 500 potential 1st place awards in the swim meet. Our team captured 51 first places. That is 10% and we had about 7 % of the total number of swimmers at the meet. Congratulations to everyone.
