Welcome New Members!

Hello to all our wonderful returning and new SCUW members. We are so excited to get back into the swing of things, and hopefully have a more normal Fall semester! This email will outline a lot of the information you will need to know for the start of the season. 

Registration

Please register for our team by following ALL the steps on our website under the join tab. A lot of you have signed up for WIN and IM Leagues but haven't completed your forms! Also, be sure to join the GroupMe after signing up on Active; the link will be sent out in the confirmation email. Dues are not due on Active until 2 weeks after the start of your first practice. 

First Practice: Monday, September 13th 8:45 - 10:30PM

Our first practice is coming up! Be sure to join us Monday at 8:45PM on the pool deck of the Nick. To get to the pool deck, scan in through the main entrance, walk down the stairs and through the locker rooms where you will see the door to the pool. The first 15 minutes of practice will be filled with information and introductions. If you want to get a jump start on meeting people, check out the "meet the officer" page on our website!

The normal practice schedule will be as follows:
  • Sunday 8:00PM-9:30PM
  • Monday 9:00PM-10:30PM
  • Wednesday 9:00PM-10:30PM
  • Thursday 9:00PM-10:30PM

Events

The event page on the website is up-to-date, so make sure to keep an eye on that to stay on top of all things SCUW related. But just so you're aware...here are a few highlights for the upcoming week.

Madison Iron Man:
While it might be too late to sign up to volunteer, it isn't too late to go out and support the athletes! The race will take place this Sunday, September 12th all day. Come on out and support your very own president, who will be competing! If you did sign up to volunteer, be on the watch for an email about details where to go. 

Training Trip

The legendary training trip is back! The first information meeting will be next Sunday, September 19th at 7:00PM before practice. The meeting will cover the location, itinerary, pricing, and any questions you might have. Signs up for returning members will open one week after the meeting on a first come first serve basis for a limited number of spots. There will be a select number of spots reserved for new members, where sign-ups for new members will open after another week. Hope to see you there!

Regionals 2021

For those that were with us the past few years know that our CCS Regionals meet is a big deal to our club. In 2019 we attended the inaugural Midwest Regionals meet. Last year we were scheduled to host the meet, but due to circumstances that meet was canceled. Thankfully, we have been able to retain our big to host Regionals again this November right here in Madison! This is going to be a team effort to organize and we are looking for help! This is a great opportunity for learning what it is like to be an officer. There are two groups you can apply for: 
  • Volunteering
    • Jobs include sourcing workers for the event including: timers, officials, operators, and other staff
    • Great position for someone who is outgoing, persistent, and willing to meet a lot of new people!
    • Similar officer positions: Volunteer Chair, Marketing Chair, Social Chair
  • Competition
    • Jobs include meet set up, logistical planning, communication with other teams, and document creation
    • Great position for someone who wants to learn the backend for running a meet, start to get in touch with other schools, and is very meticulous
    • Similar officer positions: Competition Chair, Vice President, Travel Coordinator
If you are interested in working for either position, please fill out the attached form and email it to swimclubuw@gmail.com with the subject line of: Regionals Submission Name: Position. We are looking for multiple candidates (3-5) for each position, and you are more than welcome to apply for both positions! If you are applying for more than one position, please send two separate applications and emails.
