Starting a club swim team

Hey everyone!

I am a student at Boston University and was looking into starting a club team at my school but was told it could take 5-7 years to get a new club sport established. I was looking into the College Club Swimming (backed by USMS) and was wondering if anyone knew if you could register a club with them without being recognized by the university.

Cheers!

  • I really know nothing about starting a club as you describe. But it sounds doable. I don’t know what is involve in starting a USMS group…but I’d think it easier than the 5-7 year lead it would take through the school. And…there might actually already be one there that you’re not aware of. Check with some of the LMSC leaders to see. I guess you can get their contact info somehow through this website. Good luck.
