Over the past year, the Swimming, Synchro and Waterpolo Club (UPSSWPC) has taken part in a new fixture for swimming: the British University Swimming League. Student group members updated us on what's been happening with this new fixture over the past year, including some fantastic victories!
"A new fixture for swimming this year has been the British University Swimming League (BUSL) which consists of 3 competitions against 3 other universities in the South West and finishing off with a big competition where all 4 universities come together to compete.
So far we have swam against Exeter University and the University of West England.
After a close loss against Exeter we managed a massive victory against UWE, winning 49-29, with almost all of our swimmers winning their individual races.
Although swimming is a largely individual sport the team aspect of BUSL has allowed everyone to get to know one another better and support each other as a group.
We are very excited for our upcoming matches and to hopefully continue our success.
