2025 Southwest District 9 & Older Championship Meet | Short Course

This year we had forty-five of our 9 & older swimmers compete in the 2025 SW District 9/Older Championship meet in Christiansburg. We had several seniors swimming the final meet of their swim careers, and so many swimmers working toward personal best times as well as making both USA Swimming motivational cuts and last minute Age Group and Senior Champs qualifying times.
