Sport Swansea is finally here with a brand new logo, Facebook page and card.
Here are a few helpful hints as to how to get started and why this is a must have to get the most out of your time at Swansea.
What is Sport Swansea?
Sport Swansea is the new brand that all sport sits under, from the facilities in the Sports Centre to the Clubs in the SU.
Why do I need a Sport Swansea membership?
If you want to join any sports club or team you need a membership, this is mainly for insurance purposes but it does offer many other benefits for just £15 including
£1 off Wednesday nights
Discounts on sporting events
Discounts on sports tickets
Use of recreational sports cupboard
Discount for Varsity ticket
Sports clubs benefits participation
Preferential discounted training times
T shirt for first 2000 members
Discounts at the LC
Sadie has designed us brand new cards to go with this membership, these cards will be available for you to pick up at the Sport Swansea Showcase on the 3rd October in the Freshers’ Marquee, make sure you bring a passport photo and ID to pick up your new card. Stalls are being set up outside Fulton House on Wednesday mornings, just in case you can't make it to the showcase.
Is it worth it?
Yes! Whether you have played a sport all your life or you are trying something new and exciting we have something to offer you all. I made my best friends being part of the Sailing Club and wouldn’t have had as good a time at University if I hadn’t signed up. Wednesday nights are known as ‘sports night’ but the whole of Wind Street to play with it is certainly one of the bests.
Having problems?
If you are coming to Swansea for the first time in September make sure you use your new email address that is given by the University and is made up of your studentnumber@swansea.ac.uk as your registration name. If you are still having problems email web@swansea-union.co.uk.
