Description
Welcome to LUSWP- Lancaster University Swimming and Water Polo Club! 🌹
About Us
We are a lively, friendly, outgoing club which allows its members to compete in both swimming and water polo. LUSWP was voted Lancaster University Student's Union club of the year in 2016 and 2017, and we continue to be one of the largest sports clubs at Lancaster.
Swimming
In swimming we compete in BUCS short and long course as well as the BUCS team champs. On top of this we also compete in an inter-university league called BUSL, as well as multiple charity competitions such as Duel in the Pool (against Leeds), and Quest for the Crest (held in Manchester). These provide additional competing opportunities for our members. We have a dedicated swimming coach, Stu Horton, who has been with us for several years, and has helped us to produce and develop one of the most exciting performance swimming programmes out there right now.
Waterpolo
In Water Polo we compete in BUCS league and BUCS cup as well as in UPOLO, which is an additional league for match practice. On top of this our Patnership with Lancaster City Swimming and Water Polo Club allows our members to train with GB athletes and receive further coaching and training.
Many members take up competitive swimming and water polo for the first time at university and we encourage everybody to give both sports a try regardless of previous experience.
Competitions
The pinnacle of our sporting calender, which we work towards all year, is Roses - our varsity competition against York University. Usually taking place over the May bank holiday weekend this is not an event to be missed. Roses is the largest varsity sports tournament in Europe, and we'd love to have you join our team!
Overall, we offer a wide range of opportunities to get involved in our sport! We have dedicated performance and development squads for both swimming and water polo, and this allows as many people as possible to get involved.
