On behalf of the Minnesota Youth Athletic Services (MYAS) and the Spring Lake Park High School Swim Team, we welcome you to the 2026 Midwest Regional Swim Meet. We look forward to another great event. We have athletes competing from eight different states this weekend!
We are excited to be showcasing some of the best talent at one of our nation’s best facilities, the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. Please treat the facility with respect.
As always, safety is our top priority. Please make sure to adhere to all meet and facility policies. We are expecting large crowds – please do your part to encourage a positive atmosphere. We are all here to have a memorable experience!
We would especially like to thank the University of Minnesota, the meet officials, and our volunteers, who commit so much of their time and dedication to ensure a fun and successful meet. We are extremely appreciative and know this meet would not happen without their hard work.
If you have any questions throughout the meet, please find someone wearing a staff shirt. They will do their best to answer your questions or direct you to someone who can. We hope you all enjoy the meet!
Best of luck!
Sincerely,
MYAS Swimming swimming@myas.org
