This past year the CUSWPC committee did an excellent job, improving relations with the city swim team, organizing an incredible Tadpoles Dinner, Varsity Dinner, and endless other behind the scene tasks which have improved the standing of the club and made it a successful and enjoyable year. They have given so much of their time and energy to this club; it’s only fair we let them get on with doing other things in their lives. On behalf of the entire club, we’re giving them a huge heart-felt thank you, and wish them the best next year.

This farewell means that a whole new crop of committee members have been elected: ready to serve the greater CUSWPC needs, prepare a wonderful Varsity 2017, and make the year smooth running and enjoyable for all incoming, incumbent, and graduated tadpoles.

Along with the rest of the committee, we have also had team captaincy, secretary, and social secretary elections for the upcoming year. These roles are essential for the daily organization, motivation, and functioning of the individual teams. This year the women’s water polo team has elected:
