About Us
The C4 Swim and Water Polo team are a diverse team with a range of interests and backgrounds. We welcome people of all ranges of ability, from novices to elites.
We currently have two swim sessions a week on Monday and Thursday evenings at Kings Recreation Centre, Canterbury.
This is a new season for C4 Swim, we are now a part of the British University Swim League (BUSL) and we won't only have 3 competitions throughout the year, that being the BUCS championships and the Varsity match against Kent.
Please don't hesitate to contact us on social media or email (swimming@ccsu.co.uk) if you want more information or have any questions!
Follow our social media pages (links on this page) for updates on what we get up to!
