Swimming with the Seconds allows a great deal of flexibility – we have swimmers at a competitive level who train regularly and some who come once a week to keep up fitness. The team’s social officer, Stephen, is also planning a load of fun events so that the team can get to know each other outside of training.
The main competitions of the year (for those who want to compete!) are the Varsity competition against Cambridge and the two British University Championships (one for Short Course and one for Long Course).
Trials for the team are held at the end of Freshers Week, but don’t stress about these – most people have taken time out of swimming and we know everyone is not at peak fitness straight after the summer holidays!
The Seconds Team have 4 training sessions per week, and swimmers can come to as many or as few as they want! Training times can be found here.
