  • Sometimes we have to cancel Saturday practice because the Aquatic and Fitness Center is closed. Please check their website to determine if we have practice on Saturday.

Minimum Swimming Standard

  • While we would like to be able to welcome all interested students, we do not have the coaching staff to provide swim lessons or one on one tutoring. Therefore, we require that all members be able to swim a continuous 200 FR with side breathing and a continuous 100 IM.

  • If you do plan on competing, you will need to purchase a team suit and cap in order to enter meets.
  • You will also need to fill out some forms and complete a physical
    • You can do the physical on campus through the Health and Wellness Center for around $50.
