Swimming
Competitive swimming is a highly sought-after activity on the collegiate level and MVNU is thrilled to offer club-level swimming. The MVNU swim team will practice and compete at the Mount Vernon YMCA, just a few blocks from our downtown campus. The swim team formed in Spring 2022 with swimmers of all levels and backgrounds and has started intercollegiate competition.
The team currently practices three nights a week under the supervision of a highly decorated and mission-focused coaching staff that desires to see our swimmers get better, gain experience and grow as young men and women no matter what their skill level. Our team competes as a member of U.S. Club Swimming against other college club programs with the opportunity to compete for conference and national championships.

"I am honored and excited to get to coach the inaugural Mount Vernon Nazarene University Swim Team. I'm seeing a lot of passion for the sport and eagerness to improve from our athletes. We have been focusing a lot on technique these first few weeks and as the season progresses we will be building into more yardage and looking forward to swimming in several meets."
