Welcome to the NSU Club Swimming page! Part of the Inaugural Group of Club Sports at NSU, our team has helped to set the tone for the future of NSU Club Sports. We are proud to say that we are the first ever club sport to host an official, nationally sanctioned competition on our campus. Our team is very diverse with swimmers from all over the country as well as international. We have swimmers in all different fields of study including Marine Biology, Psychology, Neuroscience, Biology, and Business as well as graduate studies (DO, Marine Science). We offer both recreational and competitive swimming for those who just want to get in and swim or travel around Florida and potentially compete at College Club Swimming Nationals!
