OFF TO A GREAT START!Looking back to the end of the summer some eight months ago, it is hard
to remember how we got to where we are now as we get the team ready to race
in Ft. Lauderdale in a week. After we closed on the sale of the facility to the
new non-profit and closed out the summer season, the pool was drained and
nearly $700,000 in renovations were completed. When we re-opened in
September, we had to really scramble to take over operations and get our
programs up and running. By October / November we had gotten a grip on
the flow of monies in and out of the business and had established our basic
operating procedures.
On the “wet” side of things - the more familiar side - coaches were
coaching, kids were swimming and diving and the season progressed even
under the specter of the crumbling economy. Read on for details of a great
start in the newest chapter at Schroeder.

SCHROEDERS c h r o e d e r R e -Opens to Host 8 Major Events in Just 5 Months
I n t h e l a s t fi v e months, the Walter Schroeder Aquatic Center has been host
to eight major meets. Western Great Lakes Open, Y Finalist,
Schroeder Winter Invite, Schroeder A+, W.I.A.C. Conference Championships, Horizon League Conference
Championships, Speedo Championships and the WI YMCA State Championships.
In all, 8500 athletes and spectators, over 27 days, have enjoyed the newly remodeling
Wa l t e r S ch ro e d e r A q u a t i c C e n t e r. Approximately $1.5 million was spent on hotels, food and entertainment during those
contests in the l o c a l c o m m u n i t y.
Playing host to major contests is a big reason the Aquatic Center
was constructed and reinforces why Schroeder
r e m a i n s a n essential major competitive aquatic facility.

Schroeder Claims 1st at 2009 A+, Runners Up at Y State.
Schroeder quality shined in February at the 29th Annual A+ Meet. SSTY bested 68 o t h e r t e a m s a n d 1 1 0 0 a t h l e t e s . Unfortunately the 18 year old steak ended
last weekend when a very deep Madison
West YMCA topped Schroeder. It was sad to see the streak end but MWY had too many and swam very well.
Age Groupers Swim FastNumerous team records were downed this year and many by SSTY’s youngest. Take a look on the team site to see if yours is still there!
13 & O State a Success!The 13 & Over State meet was held at
Waukesha South HS and was a very important meet for the 13/14 Schroeder athletes. SSTY’s boys and girls swam
incredibly well - above Alex Nennig and Chris Meyers went 1 - 2 in the 200 back.
SSTY Shines at speedo MeetSSTY entered no relays and was still
10th overall. It was a very focused meet for
SSTY’s Senior swimmers.
Take a tour of the facility website and
see the depth of programming offered
at Schroeder. We are making a serious
attempt to bolster current programs
and start up new ones. View at:
