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 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) and Tim Loeffler 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. We have three training sessions per calendar year:
1. January 1 to April 30
2. May 1 to Labor Day
3. Labor Day to December 31
Cost of each session is $225. We also offer a rate of $75 per session for full-time students under age 25.
You can register for an entire calendar year for $600.
All payments must be done online at: http://www.chicagomasters.com/w/. Click on “Register”,
In addition, you MUST be registered with United States Masters Swimming (USMS), information can be found on USMS website at www.usms.org.
NOTICE: YOU MUST BE 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. When you register, select “Illinois Masters” as club name and then select “CMSC – Chicago Masters Swim Club” as the workout group.
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. $40 per week
3. $10 per day
The above fees cover our costs, but we also have various fundraisers throughout the year. This
will primarily be done by hosting 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 continue to grow.
