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.
