Social Swimming

Get Involved!

Do you enjoy swimming and want to go for a weekly recreational swim? That’s what OUSC Social Swimming is for. Once a week, this non-competitive group meet for an hour to do a bit of swimming! It’s a great place to get back into swimming if you haven’t done it for a while, or improve your technique.

No problem if you can’t do all the strokes – it is a mixed ability session and there will be a lane to suit you, but you must be capable of swimming for an hour.

Social swimming costs £20 for the year (or £8.50 per term), plus a Swim England membership (around £15 per year).

If you have any questions about joining Social Swimming, our Social Swimming Rep, Georgia, will be happy to help!

Active at Oxford Programme

OUSC has signed up to be part of the Active at Oxford campaign, and is opening up our social swimming to Oxford Students and Staff.

The Active at Oxford programme brings together some of the beginner friendly, low commitment and social sport opportunities here at Oxford. There are a range of sports on offer for students, staff and community members, all of which allows you to:

• Come when you want, no commitment expectation
• Join in any time throughout the year
• Take part without a trial
• Make new friends (and bring your friends along)
• Have a free taster session before joining

All sessions are open to adapting and being as inclusive as possible for those with additional access requirements within their remit. Please contact the session provider if you have any requirements that you would like to discuss.

Social swimming is the perfect option for anyone who can competently swim for an hour and would like to attend a structured swimming session. There won’t be getting technical coaching but you will get a good workout and meet a friendly group of swimmers.
