As of now, we are small in numbers, but mighty in optimism! If you have any experience in swimming or have a general knowledge of all four strokes, we would love to meet with you!!!

Participating in a college sport has many advantages. It can help teach you effective time management skills, introduces you to life-long friends, promotes health and fitness in your daily life, and looks outstanding on your resume. College athletes are the leaders of a college campus!

Some of you may be thinking, "I haven't swum since Jr. High School!" The great thing about swimming is that it is a lifetime activity. It is like riding a bike. You never forget, but can always improve! Here at Augsburg, we are focusing on team-building, stroke conditioning, accomplishing goals, and having fun! There are many other reasons to join our team - training trips, team functions, personal growth, etc. If you have any interest or desire to be part of this team, please e-mail Tricia Wallace, the head coach, at: wallace@augsburg.edu.

The first step starts with you. We would love to hear from you! Our season starts Oct. 1, 2007. Come join the fun!!!
