On the 11th of November 2016 29 DUSC swimmers set off for the BUCS short course; it was a great weekend of swimming with countless personal best times! There were three club records, one smashed by 0.01 seconds by Alex Reay in the 50m freestyle in a time of 23.93, and two records came from fresher Danielle Gilbert: the 200m breaststroke in a time of 2.34.89 and the 50m breaststroke in a time of 33.59, an event which she also made the final for!
After a long day of swimming on Saturday the team converged on an all you can eat buffet with some questionable meal decisions being made by some swimmers. On Sunday there were countless massage trains with lots of tired and aching swimmers but still everyone performed well. The men's medley relay team even put on a good display after the lane rope snapped in the middle of their race and somebody had to hold it in place! There was some Take Me Out fun on the bus on the way home and some rap prowess shown on the karaoke by some swimmers at Cuth's bar that night during celebratory drinks. A fun filled post BUCS social was to follow with fines being handed out for various reasons as well as some of the best quotes from the weekend.
