Kent State Swim Club
Created in the Fall of 2022, the Kent State Swim Club creates an opportunity for college level students to swim as a club sport. Offering both competitive and noncompetitive options, the Kent State Swim Club is a well rounded club that caters to varying experience. While basic swim experience is required for the club, all levels are welcome.

Registration
All existing swimmers and new swimmers will need to sign up for Do Sports Easy. This is a University requirement to be able to participate in the club. Failure to do so before practices begin will result in swimmer(s) being denied access. Please note that swimmers that want to drive to meets must be registered as designated drivers. This is not a requirement to be a part of the club.
Students who do not register through Do Sports Easy will not be able to participate in practices. Please complete this form before the first practice.
