While the Wisconsin Sailors miss being out on the water, keeping themselves busy during the offseason is important. The team partook in many activities over break, so I thought it would be fun to highlight some of these things that keep the sailors busy while we eagerly wait to get back on the water!
Friends of Wisconsin Sailing
We are excited to introduce Friends of Wisconsin Sailing! We are a newly formed group composed of people passionate about supporting the future success of the Wisconsin Sailing Team. Our community welcomes current sailors, alumni, parents, friends, and anyone excited about our team's success. Our goals include organizing fundraising and outreach efforts on a larger scale and eventually building an advisory committee of individuals passionate about our team's long-term success. If you are interested in joining Friends of Wisconsin Sailing, please join the Facebook group!
Winter Workouts!
In preparation for the spring season, our practice captains, Marissa Tegeder ('25) and Gavin Dempsey ('26), have been leading workouts every Tuesday and Thursday! These workouts range from swims at the gym, core power, yoga, or runs along the lakeshore path. It is a great way for the team to stay active while we are not on the water, and its also great to see all of our teammates every week, and continue to foster that Wisconsin Sailing Team connection!
