Swimming
We invite all swimmers of any ability, competitive and non competitive to our club. We have two training sessions a week. One on a Sunday which gives the swimmers the option of being coached on stroke work by one of our members, a set for the session by one of our members or a leisurely swim of there own choice for the session. We also have more intense session training with another swimmer club on a Monday.
Our sessions vary from more intense training sets for those who want to swim competitively to fun social sessions for those who just want to keep fit.
Competitive Swimmers
This year we aim to organise galas throughout the year to give swimmers the opportunity to practice their swims between BUCS events. It’s a great time to try out events you want to compete in, in the BUCS competitions.
BUCS
Over the year we have to major swimming events. These are hosted in Sheffield in November and February. This is a competitive gala against many other Universities across the country. The event includes a variety of distances and strokes for swimmers to choose to enter and also include relays which are always good fun. These events last all weekend and are a great opportunity to have an enjoyable weekend away with the team.
Non- Competitive Swimmers
If competitive swimming is not something you are interested in there is a host of other swimming events throughout the year you can partake in to feel part of the team and help out the club. These include charity swims, friendly galas, within club galas, charity events etc.
BUCS
We want everyone to feel part of the team! Just because you may not want to swim competitively doesn’t mean this weekend away isn’t for you. We love support from all members of the club and it’s a great chance to spend a weekend with the team and get a feel for the event, and maybe to consider swimming in the next one.
If you are a keen swimmer and are interested in this part of the club we recommend you look at the Water Polo page as the sport may be something for you.
