Three December Bookings on the Venue's Own List
The IU Natatorium's events index, stamped updated 2 September 2026, carries three December 2026 bookings. The Oakland Live Y'ers Winter Invitational runs Thursday 3 to Sunday 6 December. USA Swimming's Speedo Winter Junior Championships runs Wednesday 9 to Saturday 12 December. The Marion County Swimming and Diving Championships close the month on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 December.
Three days separate the 6 December close from the 9 December open. Six days separate the 12 December close from the 18 December open. The last preceding booking is a single day on 22 November, 11 days before the 3 December open. The index carries no street address and no attendance forecast on any of the three.
The 2027 Edition Has No Site Yet
USA Swimming's events index lists the 2027 edition at 12/08/2027 to 12/11/2027, as a National Meet, course SCY, with the location column reading Multi-Site. The 2026 edition's record names EAST - Indianapolis, Ind. at the Indiana University Natatorium and WEST - Austin, Tex. at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center. Indianapolis holds the East site in December 2026.
The 2027 site table is unpublished. The venue's own index runs from September 2026 to June 2027 and carries no December 2027 booking.
What the Housing Block Covers
The official housing record for the December 2026 meet sets a Tuesday 8 December check-in against a Saturday 12 December check-out, four nights. The block carries eight properties and 13 room types, spread 0.85 to 12.44 miles from 901 West New York Street.
Nightly averages across the room types span $139 to $229, with four-night totals from $654.52 to $1,075.72 and taxes and fees inside every quote. Cut-off dates fall on 7 November, 13 November, 16 November, 17 November and 25 November, which is 31 days to 13 days before the Tuesday arrival.
Per-night open room-nights summed across all 13 room types read 154 for Tuesday 8 December, 144 for Wednesday 9, 140 for Thursday 10 and 139 for Friday 11.
The Two Speedway Addresses
The Courtyard Indianapolis West Speedway, 6315 Crawfordsville Road, sits 7.60 miles out at $209 for both room types, with a cut-off of 7 November. Its two-queen room carries an open count of 5 on each of the four nights. Its king room with a full sleeper sofa reads 8, 5, 5 and 5.
The Hampton Inn by Hilton Indianapolis West Speedway, 2608 Founders Square Drive, sits 6.82 miles out at $229 for both room types, also closing on 7 November. Its king room with a full sleeper sofa reads 7, 6, 6 and 6. Its two-queen room reads 5, 4, 4 and 3.

The Three Airport Addresses
The Fairfield Inn and Suites Indianapolis Airport, 5220 West Southern Avenue, sits 7.16 miles out at $155 for both room types, cut off on 25 November. Its king suite with a full sleeper sofa reads 9, 8, 8 and 8. Its two-queen room reads 9, 8, 7 and 7.

The Counters
Those five properties hold 93 of the block's 154 open room-nights on the Tuesday arrival, 25 across the two Speedway addresses and 68 across the three airport addresses. The block total falls 15 room-nights from Tuesday to Friday. The Country Inn's two-queen count holds at 20 a night across all four dates.
Terms repeat across the block. All 13 room types carry a $50 cancellation penalty and a $4 booking and service fee labelled Booking and Service Fees. All eight properties carry the Low Rate Guarantee label and read as Preferred with the Host flag false. The nearest record, the Holiday Inn Indianapolis Downtown at 515 South West Street, sits 0.85 miles out at $169 and files its two-queen room under a waitlist, with a per-night open count of 3, 2, 0 and 1.
The published gaps matter as much as the rates. The organiser's meet book and event record carry no attendance forecast and no room-night figure. The venue's index carries no address. The housing partner's own table files its Indianapolis row with the Lee & Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center in the Location column, against the Indiana University Natatorium named in the meet book and in the housing record.
