So... What will it be like?
Due to the current situation some of our activities may be slightly different.
Training in term 1
Fitness and Speeds training
*UPDATE* 13/9/20 - We are now allowed to use the pool from 5th October! Our training times have been altered slightly to allow for cleaning and distancing between sessions, you can view these updated times throughout our website and on our social media.
The pool is currently closed to university clubs - this will obviously affect Speeds and Competition training sessions. It is scheduled to open to University Clubs early November but we are hoping to see it open sooner since the pool is now open to the public.
If the pool is not open at the start of term we will make alternative arrangements: fill out our 2020-21 interest form to remain updated!
Dry SERC training
To follow social distancing guidelines some of the activities involved in SERC training may not be possible, however we will adapt first aid training to comply with guidelines. We hope to hold in-person training sessions - we are currently planning how we will incorporate COVID-19 safe procedures into our training sessions such as use of outside space and large rooms.

Socials
Socials will definitely be going ahead in Term 1 even if the pool doesn't open - we are planning a blend of in person socials such as outdoor picnics and online socials - feel free to come to either or a mixture!
Competitions
Unfortunately, some of our usual competitions may be cancelled or postponed this academic year.
Currently, all BULSCA university league competitions, BULSCA Championships and Speeds competitions are planned as going ahead but we will keep you updated during daily training sessions, emails and social media platforms.
