Summer Practice New Hours
As we close in on the end of the summer we have a slight time change for our evening workouts. We will be swimming from 7:45 - 9 PM for the last two weeks of the summer. The last summer workout is Saturday, August 30th. The fall session begins the first week in October. Check back for details.
14th Annual Chicago Area Swim Across America Fundraiser Wrap-Up
Unfortunately the Swim Across America event in Lake Michigan was canceled due to lightening over
the lake. However, the Evanston Team was able to raise $25,591.00, beating our goal of $23,000.00.
We thank everyone who donated to this worthy cause. All funds raised through our event here in Chicago are donated to the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center (CBCC) at Loyola University Medical Center. To date, Swim Across America - Chicago has raised close to one million dollars for the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center.

Summer Practice In Session
Well, in case you haven’t noticed the birds are chirping and the sun is shinning a little more than usual.
No longer will you be trapped inside with the same recirculated chlorinated air when you swim with the Catfish. Open up your lungs and get ready to breath. We've move to our super long 50M pool at Centennial Park in Wilmette.
Get ready to set your alarms for early swims. The Wild Catfish start swimming at 5:15 – 6:30 AM Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 7:45 - 9 PM on Tuesday and Thursdays, and 7:15 – 8:45 AM on Saturdays. The fun all starts on Monday June 9th and runs until Saturday, August 30th. Of course we will have excellent guidance from Heidi and her awesome coaching staff to help you achieve your swimming goals. The cost for the entire summer will be $165 payable to Evanston Masters. Fill out the 2008 Summer Registration Form, get your checks ready and bring them to practice to begin your fun in the sun!
