B-LUST 2022 Sep Announcement
Since COVID, our swimming club has suffered from a lack of funding and training facilities. Following the permanent closure of Student Central, we used the remaining savings from previous years to maintain a regular training schedule. Given much consideration, we have moved to transfer to Birbeck Students' Union. The University of London Swimming Club (LUST) is now rebranded as Birkbeck, University of London Swimming Club (informally B-LUST) with a 3-year phasing period.
The club remains open to ALL UoL member institutes. The following pages will provide more details and FAQs.
