Cambridge University Swimming & Water Polo Club (CUSWPC) consists of two teams, which represent Cambridge University in swimming and water polo. The water polo team is further split into men’s and ladies’ teams, while the swimmers are split into the first and second teams, who train separately but are all entitled to swim in competitions and trial for the Varsity Match.

The teams all achieve good results in BUCS (British Universities & Colleges Sport) competitions, making CUSWPC one of the top university clubs in the country. All 1st teams currently compete in the highest division of the national BUCS competitions, and 2013/2014 saw the mixed swim team and women’s water polo team reach national finals.

With around 100 active members, CUSWPC is one of Cambridge’s largest sports clubs. It is also one of the university’s oldest sports clubs and, having been founded in 1855, it has claim to be the oldest swimming club in England.

The first swimming Varsity Match took place in 1892, making 2017 the 125th anniversary of the first match.
