BULSCA League Comps

We have six league comps this year, forming the majority of our competition calendar! These competitions are exclusively for university student teams, making them great fun.

This 2023-24 academic year will see competitions in:

• University of Nottingham (11th Nov) 
• University of Bristol (25th Nov)
• University of Birmingham (9th Dec)
• Our home competition in Warwick! (3rd Feb)
• University of Southampton (17th Feb)
• Loughborough University (27th Apr)

​
These are each one day competitions on Saturdays. Each league competition consists of a pool based 'wet' SERC, a non-pool based 'dry' SERC and three speeds relays. This is followed by food and results in the Student's Union together with everyone from the comp. After results is the option to return to Warwick or else to stay for a social and to explore the various cities' night-lives - the highlight of which is definitely the 3am booking at the curry house in Birmingham!

BULSCA Student Championships

Student Champs is the highlight of our calendar, which sees squads entering from not only UK universities, but also from the University of Athens! 
The competition lasts 2 days: the first focusing purely on Speed events, and the eagerly anticipated second day consisting of two SERCs which are always very inventive - this year included a campsite disaster and a boat crash (with real boats)!

Our Champs 2020 Squad did us proud - with the Women's Squad earning an overall silver medal for their Speeds events!

Speeds Competitions

The Royal Lifesaving Society (RLSS) runs four national competitions dedicated purely to speeds throughout the year. These are completely optional, and differ from the university speeds events in that they are made up of individual events in addition to relays, and are open to all lifesaving clubs in the country! These competitions are perfect for ex-swimmers, allowing your competitive streak to show against the fastest lifesavers in the country.
