WWU Swimming
About
We are the WWU Swim Team! A student-lead, recreational and competitive, community of WWU undergraduate students who swim at all skill levels and intensity levels. There are no tryouts, we take anyone who wants to join us. In a typical year, we attend between 4-6 competition meets leading up to a Championship meet at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way in the spring, and a trip to Nationals. Meets are not required, but they are a lot of fun! Whether you are new to swimming or have been swimming all your life, come check us out on Instagram!
