An affordable and inclusive way to enhance your university experience.
Whether you’re joining us this September or returning for another year, Get ACTIVE’s packed calendar offers countless opportunities to explore the stunning Gower Peninsula, take part in regular sports sessions, and try exciting new activities — like surfing, which is an absolute must when you’re studying at one of the most coastal universities in the UK!
Last year, Get ACTIVE ran 617 activity sessions across a wide variety of sports on both campuses, including football, volleyball, badminton, netball, cricket, basketball, and dodgeball, with over 9,300 participant attendances. These sessions take place weekly and are free for all students and staff, so you can join in as much as you like!
If sports aren’t your thing, don’t worry — our Get Outdoors programme has you covered. We offer affordable activities around Swansea University and the wider area, from walks up Pen y Fan, the highest peak in South Wales, to surfing at Gower beaches. We provide convenient pick-ups from both campuses and the city centre, with our dedicated student activators on hand to help you get the most out of every trip.
With 1,500 participants attending over 100 Get Outdoor sessions, last year’s award-winning outdoor events included alpaca walking, gorge walking, climbing, and Go Ape — great ways to experience the breathtaking surroundings you’ll be living in, while meeting like-minded people who share your passion for adventure.
