The Four Nights a Swim Meet Holds in Indianapolis
USA Swimming's 2026 Speedo Winter Junior Championships run Wednesday 9 December to Saturday 12 December at the IU Natatorium, 901 West New York Street. The meet holds the East site of a multi-site edition, and the organiser files the course as short course yards.
Team Travel Source is the housing partner for the meet. Its Indianapolis block carries eight properties and 13 room types, and its default stay opens a day before the first session: a Tuesday 8 December check-in against a Saturday 12 December check-out, four nights.
The partner's published per-date counters, summed across the block's 13 room types, read 154 open room-nights for Tuesday 8 December, 144 for Wednesday, 140 for Thursday and 139 for Friday. The count falls 15 room-nights across the stay.
Seven of the block's eight addresses sit 6.82 miles or farther from the Natatorium. The Holiday Inn Indianapolis Downtown, at 0.8477 miles, is the one address inside a mile. It carries a waitlist flag and a per-night counter of three open rooms on the Tuesday, two on the Wednesday, none on the Thursday and one on the Friday.
