GVSU Swim Club is making waves as one of the fastest-growing club sports on campus! We're all about improving our skills, pushing our limits, and building a strong team dynamic.
Our practices are held Monday and Wednesday evenings from 8:00–10:00 p.m. in the GVSU pool, with a variety of dryland workouts on Tuesdays and lifting on Thursdays from 6-7 p.m. in the athletic weight room. Throughout the semester, we compete in meets across the Midwest, host events, and engage in social, volunteer, and fundraising activities.
