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.

Don't do club, or form a team, just have everyone join Maryland Masters or something.
While that would be cool on one level...it isn't what we're looking for. We wouldn't be able to practice with Maryland Masters...we practice at Loyola--the majority of the team are undergraduate students with no cars and no means to get to those practices. We have our own coach and a very large and talented group. Therefore it makes a lot of sense to form a masters team at the college.
We have more kids on the club team than I had on my division II varsity college team.
