2026 YMCA of Metro Atlanta Championships

Location- Georgia Tech Aquatics Center 750 Ferst Drive Atlanta GA 30318

The Date of Competition is Sunday 3/01/2026.

Dear Metro Atlanta YMCA swim team parents,

We are excited to host the 2026 YMCA of Metro Atlanta Championship Swim Meet at the Georgia Tech Aquatics Center. The address of this facility is 750 Ferst Drive, Atlanta GA, 30318.  This year we have expanded our Championship meet to all YMCA's in the state of Georgia and it will be the first ever State of Georgia YMCA Swimming Championship Meet!

Session One will include swimmers 10 and under. The facility will open at 08:30 am for swimmers and spectators. Warm-up will begin at 09:00 am, and your team’s time will be dependent upon the warm-up group you are assigned to. Your coach will provide further information on this start time as we near the meet date. Session Two will include all swimmers ages 11-18 years old, and warm-ups will begin at 1:00pm with the meet beginning at 2:00pm. We are excited for the opportunities this facility will bring to our meet, but there are a couple changes to note.

In order to make our meet efficient and safe:

There will be no parents, other than approved volunteers, allowed on the pool deck. If you would like to be on the deck with your swimmer- each team will have designated parent volunteers that we will be allowed to assist, but you must sign up on the volunteer sign up! There will be no access for parents to come on deck, and only 18 and under swimmers are allowed in the wet locker rooms that connect to the pool deck downstairs.

Space on the pool deck is limited, so please limit your swimmer to one small bag with only the essentials they will need throughout the meet. (i.e. – towel, water bottle, goggles.)

We appreciate your commitment to our swim team and can’t wait for a great meet!

This meet is split into TWO Sessions: 10 & Under will swim in the morning, and 11 & Older will swim in the afternoon.

10 & Under Warm Up Sessions- (WILL BE UPDATED the week of the swim meet)

11 & Over Warm Up Sessions- (WILL BE UPDATED week of the swim meet)

We are looking forward to a great event!
