Oxford University Lifesaving Club

As promised, here is a short document with some more information on the club. If you have any questions (I'm sure there's something I've missed), please email [email protected]

This website is pretty out of date! I'll get round to revamping it soon, but in the meantime, I'll upload a document with information about the club in the next couple of days. Our first session will be this Thursday (13th) at 8pm - email the club at [email protected] if you'd like to attend (and aren't on the mailing currently), to join the mailing list, or for more information.

This was the first competition of the year -  and specifically aimed at Freshers. 5 of us got the train (and bus) to Southampton, where Paddy (me), Alice, Beth and Bex made up team Oxford A - whilst Sarah bodied.

The competition came after just 3 weeks of training, so bearing this in mind the team put in a good performance in both incidents and races

Results: TBC

Hopefully this will be the just the first of many competitions enterred this year!

Following a successful Fresher's Fair, the first OULSC meeting of the year will be on Thursday 14th Oxtober, at Iffley Road Sports Centre. We will meet at 7:45pm in the foyer (just past the main reception desk) before having an hour's dry-side and an hour's wet-side.

The last of us have no returned from the Warwick so I thought I'd let you all know how we got on!

Unfortunately, we couldn't all compete as we couldn't find one extra person to make up our team of three. So Natalie and David joined forces with two Bath competitiors to form team Bathford! Tomo kindly offered to be a body and the other four of use formed the Oxford team. At the end of the day, Oxford came 26th and Baxford came 24th out of 29 team. A tad disappointing but it is only our first competition of the year, and we didn't come last which is always an achievement!

The AGM is being held on Tuesday 4th March at the Oxford Castle Pizza Express, 7.30pm.

Please come along.

The committe changes over at the end of this term, so we are looking for people to take up positions.

This year Varsity lifesaving was held on home turf (and pool) on Saturday of fifth week, with Cambridge bringing along two teams to compete. The home team provided three teams, with the C team completed with Verdeep, an old member who obviously couldn’t resist the lures of lifesaving competitions. With Oxford having the advantage of quantity, we were off to a good start. Nick, Simon and Chris set and judged the incidents and the relays, which were interesting to say in the least.
