I have just joined a college swim CLUB. It is separate from the varsity team, but does obviously have ties to the college.
Club swim teams do not have a lot of options for swim meets in this area...only 1 the first semester and 2-3 second semester. I suggested to the captains that those who wanted to swim meets more often could look into joining masters since we're all around that age.
My question was...would it be possible to make the whole team into a masters club? I'm not sure how one goes about doing that.
One of the acknowledged masters of this is Mel Goldstein. Our LMSC is working with him on Membership Development so we know what he brings to the table. There are others in his group that will be able to help you with this project.
The key is to learn from what others have successfully done in the past and apply the applicable practices to your team. There is a lot of knowledge out there that will enable you to become successful.
Good luck!
