If you are thinking about joining our team and wish to attend a few practices to test the waters, we offer a free trial period. Contact Stephanie at stephd@umd.edu and provide your name, and intended trial practice period and she will arrange for you to receive a complimentary pass, good for 3 workouts. Your trial pass will be placed at the Member Services desk for you to collect before your first practice. You will need to show a photo ID along with the pass to the staff at the Information desk in order to enter the facility.
Due to University Recreation & Wellness (RecWell) regulations, you will also have to fill out a waiver form for our records. The waiver can be returned to the staff at the Member Services desk or to the coach on deck.
Beyond 3 Workouts
After three trials, you will need to purchase a Terrapin Masters membership from RecWell. Also, if you are not already a USMS Member, you have 30 days from your first swim to register with U.S. Masters Swimming. You may also wish to visit the USMS Registration site for full details and benefits of a USMS Membership.
Please refer to our "Swim with us" tab for more detailed information about joining USMS and Terrapin Masters. We hope to see you soon!
