Chicago Masters Swim Club

Chicago Masters Swim Club Chicago Masters is happy to offer a wide variety of swimming opportunities for all masters

swimmers. We have three training sessions per calendar year:

1.

We have lanes available for athletes at every training level, from staying in shape to

Iron Man Triathlon qualifiers to swimmers who remain competitive. We have access to the 50

meter pool at the University of Illinois – Chicago (UIC) Physical Education Building (PEB), 901

W Roosevelt Rd, six days a week. We are coached by Clair Martin (AM) as well as other members

of the UIC coaching staff

. Practices are offered 5:30 – 7:30 am Monday – Friday, 5:30 – 7:30 pm Monday -

Thursday, and also 6:00 – 8:00 am on Saturday. We feel it is important to be clear regarding fee schedule, what is expected, and how we pay the bills. January 1 to April 30

2. May 1 to Labor Day

3. Labor Day to December 31

Each session will cost $225, which includes pool time and coaching. We also offer a rate of $75 per session for full-time students under age 25. You can also register for an entire calendar year at a cost of $600. For those coming from out-of-town or who want to try it out, we have a $10 drop in fee. REGISTRATION: Please visit our website to find the necessary forms and return them to one of the coaches. Along with your registration please fill out the Illinois Masters (ILMSA) form and include a separate check for $35. This is important because YOU MUST REGISTER AS A UNITED STATES MASTERS (USMS) SWIMMER! The ILMSA/USMS membership provides necessary insurance that allows you to swim at UIC and participate in USMS sanctioned competitions. Please make your checks payable to: "Chicago Masters Swim Club." ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP OPTION: You may also save money when you register for an entire calendar year ($500). In this case make your checks payable to: "UIC Swimming & Diving." This acts as a donation to UIC Intercollegiate Swimming & Diving teams' winter training trip. Plus it is tax deductible.

Hello everyone,

It’s with my deepest regret to let you all know that Saturday morning George Wendt, the president of our Masters team, has passed away. It happened during the Big Shoulders Race and as of right now we do not have a lot of details.

All we ask is that you please keep George, his wife Ann, and all their family and friends in your thoughts and prayers during this time.

We will respectfully send out any updates as they come.

George Wendt was a legend in the Chicago swimming scene. He died after suffering a heart attack during the Big Shoulders Swim in Lake Michigan on Saturday.

***FALL SCHEDULE UPDATE
Due to the number of athletes on the UIC swim team and the increase of members we normally have for masters in the fall, some of the days we will need to be in separate pools.

Even though the entire UIC swim team and staff are vaccinated, the athletic dept and campus have still seen positive cases already this semester. Because of this, the university is still requiring masks indoors, testing for people on campus, moving some classes back to online and limiting the number of people in certain buildings.

Because of this, I have been working with our facilities people and my athletes class schedules to figure out the best hybrid schedule for both groups.

Masters Fall Schedule
Monday: Big pool 5:30-7:30am
Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday: Small Pool, 5:30-7:30am
Friday: Big Pool 5:30-7:30am
Saturday: Big Pool 6-8am
***Everyday you will enter through the main front doors of the building on Roosevelt.

I also will be adding 2 more lunch hour swims. All lunch swims will be in the big pool.
The new schedule is:
Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri: 11-12:30pm
***No Thursday as that is the weekly maintenance day for the pool.

Hey team,
This week the UIC Swim and Dive program is in a Giving Tuesday contest with the rest of the teams in the Athletic Department. We know a lot of you are able to give throughout the year, but if you are able to help the program, we would greatly appreciate it!

With our contests closing tomorrow at midnight, here is a look at the current leaderboard! UIC Men's Soccer is trading places with UIC Flames Swimming & Diving , and UIC Flames Women's Tennis makes an appearance.

Every race is close so don’t miss your chance to pitch in! go.uic.edu/FlamesGive
