This past weekend, Club Swim sent 28 swimmers to Indianapolis to compete at the 2024 TYR College Club Swimming National Championships at the iconic IU Natatorium. With a much larger number of swimmers competing, Club Swim marked their best performance at the meet in just their 2nd year of participating, finishing in 11th place with a total of 601 points, improving on their 19th place finish the previous year, once again placing as the 3rd fastest California school behind only Berkeley and Cal Poly SLO. Over the course of the meet, 36 team records were broken, highlighting the hard work put in by the swimmers this season. Club Swim also had their first ever CCS Nationals Champion in Erin Swift, who won the 100 backstroke in a new team record, while also recording podium finishes in the 50 back (2nd place) and 200 fly (3rd place). Club Swim was also named Team of the Year by CCS, highlighting the big accomplishments and events the team has managed to host successfully this season, such as the Spooky Splash Invitational hosted in conjunction with US Masters Swimming, which was the largest meet ever hosted by Club Swim.
