Swimming and Diving | Join Our Team

The team competes in about ten meets annually, both home and away, against club and NCAA Division I/II/III teams from across the country. One of the highlights of the season is the Training Trip, which typically takes place during the last week of winter break. Past locations have included Florida, Arizona and California. The team spends a week balancing intense twice-per-day practices with trips to the beach and local attractions.

CU Swim and Dive is a great community for anyone who enjoys swimming. Whether you're looking to drop time and compete at Nationals or just come to practice every once in a while, the club would love to have you here! The team has experienced coaches who provide workouts that fit your needs and opportunities to participate in meets throughout the year.
