Silverlake Fencing was founded by internationally competitive fencer Karolyn Szot, who fenced on Northwestern University’s varsity team and ranked 17th in her last North American Cup.

Silverlake Fencing offers a chance for children, teens and adults to get started, or to enhance their skills, in the unique and rewarding sport.
