About Convicts UWR

WHAT WE ARE ABOUT

We are a small and a great club, and we’ll tell you why, upfront: we are about sportsmanship, inclusion and fun.

We are also ambitious and brimming with ideas, most of our members are active out of the pool and share their energy.

We are nothing without you! Don’t be afraid, get involved!

​

IT’S WHO YOU KNOW

It may not look like it, but all of us were once beginners… and we owe a lot to the people who were here before us. That’s why we have established a mentor scheme:

Every new player gets a mentor. It can be the person of their choice, because ALL club members are potential mentors.

Mentors will explain everything about drills, meetings, gear, finances, and importantly, they stay in contact!
