USA Swimming is a national swim organization. The HURY swim team is a member of Ohio Swimming, Inc. (http://www.swimohio.com), the local swim committee of USA Swimming.  USA Swim meets are in addition to YMCA meets. This is not a requirement, but an option for HURY swimmers who would like the opportunity to swim additional meets that are typically large, competitive invitationals. Most of these meets are in the Columbus area; however, a few of them may require travel to other cities and regions within Ohio.
