A Contracted Supply List
USA Swimming runs the Speedo Winter Junior Championships at the Indiana University Natatorium, 901 West New York Street, from Wednesday 9 December to Saturday 12 December 2026. Indianapolis holds the East site of a multi-site edition. The West site is the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center in Austin.
Team Travel Source is USA Swimming's official housing partner for this meet. Its block carries eight properties and 13 room types. The default stay opens a day before the first session: a Tuesday 8 December check-in against a Saturday 12 December check-out, four nights.
Every property in the block carries the contracted booking type and the partner's preferred label. None carries the host label. The partner's housing table dates the Indianapolis row 12/09/26 to 12/12/26 and leaves its Housing Open Date column empty on every row.
Where the Block's Rooms Sit
The eight addresses run from 0.8477 miles to 12.44 miles from the Natatorium, a spread of 11.59 miles. Seven of the eight sit 6.82 miles or farther. One sits under a mile.
Open room-nights, summed across the block's 13 room types, read 154 on the Tuesday, 144 on the Wednesday, 140 on the Thursday and 139 on the Friday. Those are the partner's published per-date counters. They fall 15 room-nights across the stay.
Two Speedway addresses hold 25 of the 154 Tuesday room-nights. Three airport addresses hold 68. Those five properties hold 93 of the 154, or 60.4 percent, on the arrival night.
The One Downtown Address
The Holiday Inn Indianapolis Downtown at 515 South West Street is the only block property under a mile. Its distance field reads 0.8477. Its driving field reads 1.53, the one record in the block where the two fields disagree.
That address carries a single room type here, a two-queen room at a $169 nightly average. The partner files it under waitlist status. Its per-night counter reads three, two, none and one across the four nights, and the waitlist flag is set on all four. Across the block's 577 published room-nights, that address holds six, or 1.04 percent.
What the Block Prices
Nightly averages run $139 to $229, a $90 spread. Four-night totals run $654.52 to $1,075.72, a spread of $421.20, with taxes and fees inside every total. The downtown address's $169 sits 30 dollars above the block's lowest average and 60 below its highest.
Two terms repeat across all 13 room types: a $50 cancellation penalty and a $4 line labelled Booking & Service Fees. Every property carries the partner's low-rate-guarantee flag.
Cut-off dates fall on five days. Two properties close on 7 November, one on 13 November, two on 16 November, one on 17 November and two on 25 November. Measured against the Tuesday arrival, those are 31, 25, 22, 21 and 13 days out. A group that decides after 25 November is past every cut-off in the block.
The Measure the Block Does Not Carry
A block states contracted supply. It carries no sold-room count, no pickup pace, no occupancy figure and no room-night total.
The Natatorium's own events index, stamped updated 2 September 2026, lists three December 2026 bookings: the Oakland Live Y'ers Winter Invitational from 3 to 6 December, this meet from 9 to 12, and the Marion County Swimming & Diving Championships on 18 and 19 December. The page publishes no attendance figure and no forecast. The meet information book publishes pool hours, credential pick-up, the ticket ladder, the deck-pass formula and the facility description, and it publishes no attendance line.
The Position
The block's published record carries contracted supply at eight addresses. Seven of them sit 6.82 miles or farther from the pool, and those seven hold 60.4 percent of the arrival night's open rooms. Its one downtown address carries a zero on the Thursday night and a waitlist flag on all four dates.
The counters state the partner's open inventory per date. An open room on the Tuesday may never have been requested.
The block's cut-offs run from 31 days to 13 days before the Tuesday arrival. A hotel working the meet from outside the block holds the meet's own dates, the partner's contracted addresses and the partner's published prices. No volume figure sits in the record.
A pricing decision on this meet needs a count that no published layer carries. The published record states addresses, distances, rates and cut-off dates.
