"Studious attendance at lectures and laboratories will bring you a degree, but it alone will never form you a character. A student's character is moulded on the playing fields and in his association with his fellow-students, living up to the fine ideals of sport. It is a foolish man who will neglect his sport for the sake of whole-time devotion to studies, and still a more foolish man who neglects his studies for the sake of sport. The man who leaves his mark behind him in university history is he who strikes a happy medium." (Athletic Union pamphlet for new students, 1923) Should you have any questions or queries about the swimming club before your arrival please do not hesitate to get in touch with any of the following people and they'll be more than happy to help; For general queries: uomswimmingclub@gmail.com Jacob Snowdon (President)- president@manchesterswimming.co.uk Matthew Rudolph (Men's Captain)- matthew@manchesterswimming.co.uk Carita Hui (Women's Captain)- carita@manchesterswimming.co.uk Join us on Facebook (Competitive and Recreational) and Twitter!

Freshers 2015-2016Hello & Welcome to the University of Manchester Swimming Club Website! We're looking forward to welcoming new members and the return of existing members this coming September and are currently working very hard to ensure that everything is ready for your arrival.Circuit Training: Every Saturday 12PM-1PM at the Armitage Centre in Fallowfield for both Comp and Rec Swimmers Also bring your Student ID to be registered at the front desk for future sessions! To add yourself to our swimming mailing list, please email lists@manchesterswimming.co.uk.  Unlike some other universities (no names mentioned!), we don't hold formal trials to join the club - it's as simple as this: if you turn up to training regularly and you're good enough, then you'll make it into the teams! We train at the Manchester Aquatics Centre - the pool built especially for the 2002 Commonwealth Games here in Manchester, right in the centre of the university campus. The club is a fun way to get involved with sport at the university, a lot of people will heartily recommend you get involved with a sports team at university for the laughs, fitness and something to put on your CV at the end of it.
