Swim & Water Polo
Our training takes place at Ethos pool, conveniently located on the South Kensington campus. Each discipline benefits from three fully coached training sessions per week, plus a land based training session - great preparation for local and national competition, as well as working off some of those bar night pints! If you're looking to improve your technique, our coaches can help you to learn a new stroke or perfect your shot.
Members are encouraged to try their hand at both swimming and water polo, with everyone having the opportunity to participate in friendly competitions against rivals from local universities. At the more competitive end, new members may be selected to join one of our teams and represent the college at national events.
Our swimming team attends the national BUCS Long course, Short course and Team championships, and looks likely to secure promotion to the top division this year. Our Men's and Women's Water Polo teams also enter BUCS, as well as the national UPolo league, with both teams seeing gold in 2009/10. We also have a mixed water polo team who last year won Varsity and the University of London league.
We train hard, play hard, and party harder, with a lively social calendar complementing hard work in the water. Events lined up for this year include sports nights, booze bowling and various dinners and themed nights out.
