Info for New Swimmers

The UNCW Swim Club is always looking for new swimmers to join our team. We take swimmers from all experience levels, and there are no try outs or team cuts that limit membership. There are a only a few things that must be completed before becoming a member.

The first thing that is needed is a signed waiver that is obtained from campus recreation, or can also be found at this website underneath "Home Events" and titled "Waiver". The file is available in either PDF or a Microsoft Word Document. Please fill out the form and bring it to a swim practice along with a copy of your student ID and insurance cards.

The next item that must be completed is a swim test administered by a UNCW lifeguard.  The test consists of a 200 yard swim and 10 minutes treading deep water.  The test can be completed during swim practice or during recreational swim hours.  

The last item to join the swim club is to pay semesterly dues.  Please inquire about dues with the club president or treasurer, as dues may differ by semester as determined by the officers to meet the club's needs.  In the past, paying club dues has included payment for a team t-shirt or swim cap.

If you have any questions regarding joining the swim club, please do not hesitate to contact the club by speaking to us during one of the practice times at the pool, or by contacting us at the following email address:  uncwswimclub(at)gmail.com
