Bangor University Swimming Club

This page aims to provide information to any swimmers hoping to join Bangor university or are already here, and to understand what the club is about, what we do and what we're like.

WELCOME TO BANGOR UNIVERSITY SWIMMING CLUB (BUSC), sponsored by The Castle, and home to swimmers of all abilities; from those wanting to compete at BUCS (British University & College Sport) to those just wanting a casual swim. Our main aim for 2017 /18 is to improve the performances and PB's (personal bests) of everyone who joins us, and we want to push the University higher in the swimming rankings. Attending our sessions regularly will improve your technique, stamina and strength. We'll aim to achieve this by using a year long plan of training sessions developed by the committee and coaches.
If you want to compete this year, and have previously been in a more casual lane, don't be afraid to approach any of the committee about it; we’d love to help. Likewise, there will be the opportunity to step forward and put your name down as one of the coaches on rotation throughout the year.

Our casual representative will be nominated at the start of Semester One (September /October) from the casual swimmers that regularly turn up to sessions. This way the casual swimmers are fully represented and everyone has a chance to be fully integrated into the club.

There is NO fee for joining or training with us. However, there are other possible expenses: if you wish to compete away (e. g. at BUCS), go on nights out or buy kit. None of these are compulsory, but we HIGHLY RECOMMEND that if you are going to be a REGULAR OR COMPETITIVE MEMBER of the club that you invest in our club shirt.

One thing we make compulsory, however, is that if you wish to compete with us, you must attend a MINIMUM of 2 SESSIONS PER WEEK, preferably with the inclusion of our 2-hour Saturday session. We would also like to suggest you attend circuit sessions every Sunday, provided by the AU free of charge, as additional land training. We understand that sometimes life might get in the way, but if we can see this effort being made, it won’t stop your chances of competing.

Also, if you have any kit such as fins, kickboards, pullboys, etc. please feel free to bring them along to sessions!

BUT, aside from all the serious training we do, we are also a very friendly and sociable club, getting together on Wednesday nights (AU night) for a good laugh and a great night out as a club! !

Hopefully you’ll feel welcomed by all of us! Happy swimming! !

CROESO I GLWB NOFIO PRIFYSGOL BANGOR (CNPB), a noddir gan The Castle, ac sy'n gartref i nofwyr o bob gallu - o rai sydd eisiau cystadlu yn BUCS (British University & College Sport) i rai sydd ond eisiau nofio o ran pleser. Ein prif nod am 2017 /18 yw gwella perfformiadau pawb sy'n ymuno â ni ac rydym eisiau gwthio'r brifysgol yn uwch i fyny'r safleoedd sgoriau nofio. Bydd dod i'n sesiynau'n rheolaidd yn gwella eich techneg, stamina a chryfder. Byddwn yn ceisio cyflawni hyn drwy ddefnyddio cynllun blwyddyn o sesiynau ymarfer a ddatblygwyd gan y pwyllgor a hyfforddwyr.

Os hoffech chi gystadlu eleni, ac wedi bod yn nofio fwy o ran pleser cyn hyn, peidiwch â bod ofn dod at unrhyw un o'r pwyllgor i drafod y peth - byddwn yn falch iawn o'ch helpu. Yr un modd bydd cyfle i chi ddod ymlaen a rhoi eich enw fel un o'r hyfforddwyr a fydd yn gweithredu ar gylch drwy gydol y flwyddyn.

Caiff ein cynrychiolydd nofwyr o ran pleser ei enwebu ar ddechrau Semester Un (Medi /Hydref) o blith y nofwyr o ran pleser sy'n dod yn rheolaidd i sesiynau. Yn y ffordd yma mae'r nofwyr o ran pleser yn cael eu cynrychioli'n llawn ac mae pawb yn cael cyfle i gael ei gynnwys yn llawn yn y clwb.

Ni chodir UNRHYW dâl am ymuno neu ymarfer gyda ni. Fodd bynnag, mae yna gostau eraill posibl: pe baech eisiau cystadlu i ffwrdd (e. e. yn BUCS), mynd ar nosweithiau allan neu brynu dillad /offer. Nid oes yr un o'r rhain yn orfodol, ond os ydych am fod yn AELOD RHEOLAIDD NEU GYSTADLEUOL, rydym yn ARGYMELL YN GRYF i chi brynu ein crys clwb.

Un peth sy'n orfodol gennym, fodd bynnag, sef os dymunwch gystadlu gyda ni mae'n rhaid i chi ddod i FAN LEIAF 2 SESIWN YR WYTHNOS, yn ddelfrydol yn cynnwys ein sesiwn 2 awr ar ddydd Sadwrn. Rydym yn awgrymu hefyd i chi fynd i sesiynau ymarfer cylchol bob dydd Sul, a ddarperir am ddim gan yr Undeb Athletau, fel ymarfer ychwanegol ar dir. Rydym yn deall y gall gofynion eraill eich rhwystro weithiau, ond os gwelwn eich bod yn gwneud ymdrech, ni fydd hynny'n stopio eich siawns o gael cystadlu.

Hefyd, os oes gennych unrhyw offer fel ffins, cicfyrddau, pullboys, etc. mae croeso i chi ddod â hwy i sesiynau!

OND, ar wahân i'r holl ymarfer rydym yn ei wneud, rydym hefyd yn glwb cyfeillgar a chymdeithasol iawn. Rydym yn dod at ein gilydd ar nosweithiau Mercher (noson Undeb Athletau) am hwyl iawn a noson allan wych fel clwb! !

Gobeithio y byddwch yn teimlo eich bod yn cael croeso gan bob un ohonom! Nofio pleserus! !
