When I first got here to UW I wanted to join the swim club because swimming was a huge part of my life growing up and I knew I wanted to continue swimming in college somehow.

I transitioned from being an individual athlete to a team player and my favorite/best events are relays! Outside the pool, you can find me spending time with my sorority, working for the ILS department, breaking it down on the dance floor, or enjoying a burger at Dotty’s. I also love to crack a good joke once in a while. I am so excited to take my final lap as SCUW’s Finance Chair for the second year in a row and keep the juice, fire, and hot desire alive at SCUW. Go Badgers!!

Favorite Race: 100 and 200 Free

I'm so glad SCUW helped me get back into the sport and meet so many amazing people. Apart from swimming, I love traveling, trying new restaurants, and spending time outside! I'm so excited for another year with SCUW and I can't wait to see what the season brings!
Marketing Chair 
AJ Dehnke 
​Year: Junior 
​​Major: Journalism
Favorite Race: 400 IM 
​Bio: ​Hi everybody! I'm AJ and I'm so excited to be serving as the marketing chair for 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 my unapologetic self and get to hang out with some of the coolest people on campus. Outside of practice, you can usually find me locked in (or talking to friends) at the library, hammocking in the lakeshore, or sipping on a Bubbl'r. I also enjoy collecting vinyl records (Beyonce, anyone?), building legos, and caring for my plants! I'm so excited for the season and I can't wait to make so many new memories with you all :)

​Year: ​Junior 
​Major: Kinesiology and Psychology and a Certificate in Theatre 
Favorite Race: 100 Back and 50 Fly
​Bio: Hey guys! My name is Maggie Krajnak and I am from Franklin, Wisconsin, right outside of Milwaukee. I have been a member of SCUW for my entire time at UW so far, but I swam with the club team SWAT from when I was eight years old to all through high school. On top of swim, I am also in the sorority Zeta Tau Alpha, so I am a huge supporter of both club sports and Greek Life! This team and the people on it mean the world to me, so I always do my best to show up and be an approachable friend to everyone. It is my hope that all new and old members find the same love for SCUW that I have, and I am excited to grow closer with everyone this season!
Practice Coordinator
Joe Skantz 
​Year: Senior
Major: Computer Science and Business 
Favorite Race: ​50 Fly  
​Bio: Hi everyone! My name is Joe and I am a senior this year. Being a swimmer all throughout high school, SCUW was naturally the first club I joined on campus. Looking back, I can confidently say that this was the right call. Through the countless home, travel, and nationals meets, training trips to Florida, group cycling classes and volleyball days, SCUW fundraisers, and social events, this club has truly become a second home on campus for me. Outside of swimming, I love lifting weights, spending time with friends and family, hanging out at the terrace, and traveling to new places! I'm super excited for this upcoming year, and cannot wait to meet everyone!
