BUCS short course and long course are the events of the year for our swimmers, but we also have BUSL confreres with different universities that are great for people who want to get back into competing after being out of it for a while.
Our water polo teams have BUCS games almost weekly against other universities and the opportunity to compete in the national cup league. On top of this, our committee set up various friendly matches throughout the year to give beginners some game experience.
As a sports society, we don't just train together. We socialise together. This includes Ocean Wednesdays (society night), dressy formals, boat balls, charity drives, watching water polo games and swim competitions, group activities (paintballing, climbing, ice skating, bowling), awards evenings, SU Saturdays, and dinners.
