CHICAGO MASTERS SWIM CLUB

Chicago Masters is happy to offer a wide variety of swimming opportunities for all masters swimmers. We have lanes available for athletes at every training level, from staying in shape to Iron Man Triathlon qualifiers to swimmers who still love to race in competition.  We have access to the 50 meter pool at the University of Illinois – Chicago (UIC) Physical Education Building (PEB), 901 W. Roosevelt Road six days a week. We are coached by Paul Moniak and other members of the UIC coaching staff. Practices are offered 5:30-7:30am and 5:00-7:00pm Monday – Friday and 8:00-10:00am on Saturday. As we grow in number, enthusiasm, and expense we feel it is important to be clear regarding fee schedules, what is expected, and how we pay the bills. We have three training sessions per year:

1. Labor Day to New Year’s

2. New Year’s to April 30

3. May to Labor Day

Each session will cost $150, which includes pool time and coaching. We also offer a rate of $50 per session for full time students under 25. Please fill out the enclosed Chicago Masters form and return to George Yanos, Bill Mulliken, or one of the coaches. Make checks payable to: Chicago Masters Swim Club. With your registration, please fill out the CMSA form and include a separate check for $35.

NOTICE: YOU MUST REGISTER AS A UNITED STATES MASTERS SWIMMER! The registration provides the necessary insurance that will allow you to swim at UIC and participate in USMS sanctioned events.

For those entering a training session midway or are in town for a few days per week, we offer the following fees:

1. $75 per month

2. $30 per week

3. $10 per day

You can register for an entire calendar year ($450). Make checks payable to: UIC Swimming & Diving. This will act as a donation to UIC Swimming & Diving team’s winter training trip and are tax deductible.

The above fees cover our costs, but we also have various fundraisers throughout the year. This will primarily be done by hosting United States Masters Swimming (USMS) meets, and assisting UIC during their home meets. Since these activities allow our organization to exist, we need everyone’s help in making these events work. We are extremely excited about all we have to offer and with everyone’s cooperation; we will be able to grow.
