This Friday and Saturday there will be a large influx of people in town for the Girls State Swimming and Diving Championship. This will be the 20th year that the Marshalltown YMCA will be hosting this event. It will take place in the Linda Bloom Natatorium.

That is Shelley Lechnir, the Aquatics Director for the Marshalltown YMCA. The Blue Wave Swim Team at the Marshalltown YMCA is a tight nit group, and that is on display this weekend.

This event is open to the public and if you have never been to a swim meet, you will be surprised with how electric it can be. The Linda Bloom Natatorium will be loud all weekend starting 10am on Friday.
