Co-President
AJ Dehnke Year: Senior Major: Journalism Favorite Race: 100 Breast Bio: Hi everybody! I'm AJ and I'm so excited to be one of the co-presidents this season. Going into college, I knew that I wanted to join SCUW because swimming has been an important aspect of my life since I was 8. I love how SCUW enables me to continue swimming in a low-stakes and fun environment! Madison was a big and scary environment to step into freshman year, but SCUW quickly became a place where I could consistently show up, be myself and get to hang out with some of the coolest people on campus. I'm so excited for the season and I can't wait to make so many new memories with you all :) |

Finance Chair

I've swam on club teams since I was young and all through high school, as well as all through my time at UW. Swim Club is the place I've made almost all of my friends throughout college, and it's a great way to spend time with a group of supportive, kind, and enthusiastic people all year. Outside of swimming, I enjoy going on long drives with the music on to explore new places. One of my favorite things is video games, and I'm always excited to have a vibrant night out or a quiet night in. I'm proud to be a part of SCUW and continue to make it a welcoming place for faces old and new. :) |
