Lust Swimming

This year Lancaster swim team competed in 3 competitions, BUCS, The Lancashire cup and Roses! This year we held both the Lancashire cup against University of Central Lancashire and Cumbria as well as the high light of Lancaster's sporting calendar Roses against York University. In both competitions Lancaster dominated the pool, victorious in both. For both competitions we were clear winners with 196 points to Central Lancashire's 128 and Cumbria's 90 points, and at Roses we won a total of 140 of a possible 222 to win the swimming.

The other major competitions we competed in were BUCS short and long course at Sheffield. The first was short course meet held in November where Lauran Cox reached the finals of 50 metres freestyle and 100m backstroke and Emma Gage got to the final of the 200m backstroke. Both the girls 200m freestyle relay team and 200m medley team reached the B final. Si Rigby wore the Speedo LZR suit (acquired at a discount price I believe). Despite it being a successful meet Jimmy Colston was disqualified in the 200m breastroke and there was some off poolside action that I have been advised not to mention. The Long course championships was also a successful meet with a total of 17 university records broken over the weekend and the women's relay team again reached the B final of the 400m free and medley relays and Suzie Kern reaching the final of the 200 metres backstroke We also took part in the team championship but unfortunately didn't manage to reach the finals held in Sheffield.
