University of York Swimming and Water Polo Club
Competitive Swimming
Our team is made up of 30 swimmers (15 men and 15 women) from a range of swimming-backgrounds, from county- to national-level experience! We train up to 6 times a week, with sessions lead by either our professional coach or our well-practiced team captains!
We compete at multiple galas throughout the year, including:
- British University and College Sport (BUCS) galas (short course and long course).
- British University Swimming League (BUSL).
- Roses Tournament (University of York vs Lancaster University).
Some of our individuals have also gone onto to compete at winter and summer nationals!
Trials
We select our team via time trials at the start of each academic year - this usually consists of 50m freestyle and 50m of your choice.
Keep an eye on our socials for the trials date!
If you don't make the team, or don't fancy swimming competitively, check out Swim For Fitness!
Partnered with Tadcaster York Sport Swim Squad
Our partnership with TYS Swim Squad has allowed the most advanced swimmers on the team to receive additional training and compete at non-university galas such as the winter and summer nationals series.
