Welcome to Madison and Wisconsin Dive Club

Dear divers, parents and coaches,

On behalf of Wisconsin Dive Club, our staff, our members, our families and our community, I would like to welcome each and every one of you to our beautiful city of Madison, the Badger state, and the Soderholm Family Aquatic Center on the campus of the University of Wisconsin.


We, in the city of Madison, are delighted and thrilled to host you. If there is anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable, please feel free to ask any one of us. We hope that you enjoy your time on State Street, around Lake Monona, at the Terrace on Lake Mendota and the Saturday morning Farmer’s Market on the Square. If you are staying in one of the hotels downtown, we highly recommend that you park your car in the garage and leave it. This is an incredibly walkable city and much easier to navigate on foot or bike. We learned from last time and excited to share some “Midwest Nice” with you and your families. 


As our facilities are constantly in use for the university and the community, please note the following: 

  • There are three local swim clubs that will use the facility throughout the week of competition. Be aware of your things and where you place them.
  • Dryland is available only with your coach(es) present.
  • Please follow all signage and proper locker use (event vs public).
  • Only credentialed officials, coaches, divers and volunteers are allowed on deck.


We would like to recognize and give our gratitude to the volunteers and workers that made these events possible. Thank you to the parents for all of your support and dedication to your children’s efforts. A final thanks goes to the coaches and athletes for all of their disciplined training and commitment to our sport. Best of luck to you and your team this week.


Never settle,

Yahya Radman

Program Director

COFFEE SPOTS

Need your caffeinated fix, try local haunts.

Indie Coffee

$-$$

 A little gem on Regent Street where the coffee is fresh, the food is light and the waffles will make you question what you have been missing until now. 

Bandit Tacos & Coffee

$-$$

Cute spot next to the pool tucked between a train car, a bike shop and The Harvey House.

Colectivo Coffee on State

$-$$

Good and strong coffee with great ambiance and people watching.

Valentia Coffee

$-$$

Two blocks from the pool, they use a revolutionary brewing machine called Ground Control, which consistently brings out the sweet, balanced taste in each cup. 


FOOD

Great local food for all budgets.

Mickey's Dairy Bar

$

A badger alumni staple. Hearty portions and breakfast milkshakes. Boasts a breakfast scrambler so big that even a hungry athlete will struggle to clean their plate. 

Chocolate Shoppe

$

A walk down State Street is always better with an ice cream cone in hand. The Chocolate Shoppe serves some of the best scoops in the country (this is the dairy state) and makes for a great after dinner dessert. 

Dotty Dumpling’s Dowry

$$

Dotty’s arguably serves some of the best burgers in Madison. The décor inside gives it a comfortable feel and it is conveniently located near campus. 

The Old Fashioned

$$

A Madison staple and the best cheese curds in town. Great Wisconsin cuisine with a prime view of the Downtown Square.  

The Boathouse

$$

Located at lake level in the historic Langdon Building, The Boathouse serves authentic Wisconsin favorites like a Chicken BLT on Stella’s Spicy Cheese Bread —all with beautiful Lake Mendota as its front yard. 

Coopers Tavern

$$

Similar to The Old Fashioned in a little cozier environment. It may be a debate among locals of which is better between the two. With great food, friendly people, and a view of the capitol you can’t go wrong. 

Lucille

$$

 Great pizza in a remodeled bank building with a view of the capital. One of the newer restaurants in Madison and it has quickly become one of the best. 

The Harvey House

$$$

  

Hidden behind Madison’s Historic Train Depot, The Harvey House is a celebration of Wisconsin’s iconic supper clubs. The Harvey House - Hidden behind Madison’s Historic Train Depot, The Harvey House is a celebration of Wisconsin’s iconic supper clubs.


ACTIVITIES & GIFTS

Things to do around Madison and memories to take home.

State Street

$-$$$

A pedestrian friendly smorgasbord of foods and gifts from around the state and world that cater to everyone's palate. Starting from Bascom Hill all the way to the Capital Building and Lady Wisconsin, herself. 

The Union Terrace

$-$$

A trip to Madison would not be complete without a visit to the terrace. One of the most beloved places in the city to catch up with friends, grab a brat, and soak in the scenery right on Lake Mendota.

Monroe Street

$-$$$

With over 1-1/2 miles of locally-owned businesses, Monroe Street is bordered by a beautiful historic neighborhood and conveniently located near UW Madison's Camp Randall Stadium and connecting to Lake Wingra. If you want to get out on the water rent kayaks, SUP boards, and paddle boats at Wingra Boats located in Wingra Park. 

Farmers Market on the Square (Seasonal)

$

Patrons will find a full array of Wisconsin fruits and vegetables, cheeses, honey and maple syrups, local meats, bakery items, and many specialty items. We highly recommend some fresh cheese curds and Stella's Spicy Cheese Bread. 

B-Cycle

$

Rent an E-Bike at one of the dozens of bike racks and explore one of the nations most bike friendly cities. It's a great way to tour our city and get the best lake views.

Fromagination

$-$$

Founded in 2007 by owner and Creative Director Ken Monteleone, who believes that Wisconsin cheese, the Badger State's cheese-making heritage, and its growing artisan food movement all deserve a showcase. Fantastic gift ideas to take a piece of Madison home.

UW Arboretum

Widely recognized as the site of historic research in ecological restoration. Take a beautiful fall hike or drive through the 1200 acres of the oldest and most varied collection of restored ecological communities in the world.

Henry Vilas Zoo

One of only a handful of admission-free, community-supported zoos in the country. Fully accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, our beautiful zoo features exhibits and attractions for the whole family!
