More than a swim club...
The Moscow Chinooks Master's Swim Team is the premier USMS master's swim team on the Palouse! We offer swim and triathlon training and Adult Learn to Swim Programs. For competitive and non competitive swimmers, ages 18 and older. Train with us to stay in shape, to swim in meets, to swim in open water, to make new friends, whatever you want!
Frequently Asked Questions
Ideally, we prefer our members to be able to complete one length of a standard 25-yard pool. You don't need to know all four competitive strokes, but bring a willingness to learn and we'll welcome you with open arms. If 25 yards is a stretch goal, you're a good candidate for our Adult Learn-to-Swim program. Certified instructors hold sessions in Spring and Fall. See the ALTS page under "Programs."
Our club requires membership in US Masters Swimming, which offers a one-time one-month free trial. We suggest that you swim with us for 2-3 practices (1 week) before registering, so that you really know if our program is right for you. You need a trial membership through USMasters Swimming, it gives you 30 days before you need a full membership to join our program. Visit https://www.usms.org/trial if you are ready to start your free trial!
Parking in the University of Idaho Gold lot 39 is the most convenient location, however, morning swimmers require a "Commuter Overnight/Early Morning Activity" Permit, obtainable at the Parking and Transportation Services office for $15 (or Free with purchase of an annual permit.) You can buy it at their office in the Intermodal Transportation Center at Sweet Ave. & Railroad St. For evening swimmers, Lot #39 is free after 5:00pm, however, please obey all parking signs. Some marked spaces, metered parking, and Pay-to-Park on Rayburn Street have different hours. See posted signs. The AMP parking app allows you to save a payment method and gives alerts when your time is close to expiring. Bicycle parking is always free.
