Bayfield Master Swimming is a fun and competitive swim club for swimmers ages 18 and above who want to swim with a team and have team camaraderie with a coach and pre-written practices.
You decide if you are here for the competitive aspect of the sport or to swim as a form of exercise to live a healthier lifestyle. If you were a competitive swimmer in the past and would like to get back into the sport, we welcome you. If you are a triathlete and would like to enhance your swimming skills, come and practice with us. If you are looking for a peer group to exercise with, join us. |
Registration with US Masters Swimming is required.
Current swimmers get the first option to sign up for the season and then the remaining spots will be open to new members once we determine how many spots we have available.
You are able to register mid-season if there are spots available on the team.
At this time the team capacity is 18 participants per season.

Practices are scheduled 6:45-8:00am Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please note that the Rec Center opens at 6:30am. If you would like access to the building before 6:30am you can apply for 24 hour access at the front desk.
All practices are under the direction of a USMS certified coach. At practice, the lanes are organized by speed, so swimmers of similar speed swim together. Practices are structured with workouts that build over the season.
What to bring to practice:
Swimsuit, goggles, cap, towel, water bottle, and a lock for day use lockers. You are not required to wear goggles and a cap, but they are highly recommended. We have locks, towels, caps, and goggles available for purchase at the front desk.

Meet your USMS Coach - Taylor Pena-Hanson
|
My name is Taylor! I am truly honored to be a part of this local swimming community, and am excited to guide swimmers to reach all of their swimming and fitness goals. From long distance open swims to making small changes to be more efficient through the water, no goal is too big or too small!
As a three sport Athlete (Volleyball, Swimming, Tack and Field) in high school, I have experienced the benefits, both Mental and Physical, of moving the body regularly and striving for improvement. From swimming in the “beginner lane” my freshman year, to being part of a State Relay team in my senior year, swimming has given me the confidence to feel like I can do anything, and I can’t wait to share that joy! Since then, I have been lucky to call the Chequamegon Bay home where I work to teach the joys of being outdoors through sports such as skiing, canoeing, and biking. I continue to do so in my daily work for the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute at Northland College. I am looking forward to bringing my experiences to the pool deck! Favorite Stroke: Backstroke Favorite Swim event: 4x100 Medley Relay Favorite Food: Sour Cream |
