Description
Winchester Rays
We are the University of Winchester Swim Team! We are a rapidly growing, mixed gender team who enjoy keeping fit and socialising. There is the opportunity to swim either competitively, going to National galas in Sheffield against other universities, or socially!
We have two swimming sessions for the competitive squad. One on a Tuesday evening (which will be coached) and the other Wednesday during the day. We have one swimming session for the social swimmers, which is also Wednesday during the day. As extra training, we have athletics training on a Friday evening at the track and land training on Sunday evenings in the sports hall. Both athletics and land training are open to both competitive and social swimmers.
We will have a taster session on the first Wednesday after freshers fayre which all are welcome to come along to. Here you can meet the current members and also other freshers looking to join.
We have a large social presence at BOP on Wednesdays dressed as different themes each week as well as other social opportunities such as team meals and fundraisers. These are a great way to meet the society and make new friends for life!

MEMBERSHIP T&Cs
Where an activity group (sports team/society/representational network) has a competitive element or other external factors that affect the number of participants, your membership may be subject to criteria other than joining the group via this website. If this results in your membership not being able to be accepted, you will be informed (with any relevant details) and your membership will be refunded.
Membership will not normally be refunded if you cease being a student, if you voluntarily end your membership, or if you are subject to disciplinary action that removes your membership status.
CODE OF CONDUCT
By joining this activity group you are confirming your compliance with Student Union policies and bye-laws, particularly as it pertains to conduct, personal safety and acceptable behaviour.
Initiations: At no point should you feel pressured to drink and get involved in what others are doing, for example to join in with drinking games or ‘challenges’, if you don’t want to. If you are part of an activity group it is completely your choice whether or not you attend a social event. Activity groups are prohibited from carrying out initiation ceremonies, or any initiation-type behaviour, either on or off campus. If you ever feel pressured to take part in social activities as part of an activity group, we would strongly encourage you to report it to us here: https://www.winchesterstudents.co.uk/report It is our upmost priority that you feel safe engaging in Union activity, and there is support available for you if you have experienced or witnessed anything that made you feel uncomfortable or concerned you.
