About the Team
The NMU Club Swim Team started in 2025. We are a co-ed team with the purpose of providing a place for people who want to keep swimming in a competitive atmosphere. At practice, we focus on improving our strokes, flip-turns, and breathing, while getting in at least 2,000–2,500 yards each session. We strive to have team bonding at least once a month, if not more, to help bring the team together. We’re part of the CCS league (College Club Swimming) and compete in 3–4 meets each semester, including two conferences, Regionals, and a dual meet against Michigan Tech.
Dues:
Dues are subject to change each year (more people = lower cost of dues). Currently, dues are $65 for the 2026–27 season, which covers pool time, league fees, and caps. The team suit is optional but strongly encouraged and costs $70 for women and $40–$50 for men, depending on whether they choose a Speedo or jammers. If you participate in meets, there will be additional fees, which are determined by the hosting team.

You must have a rec sport pass, be able to swim 50yd, own a swimsuit and goggles.
