Welfare@CampusLife Gym and Swim Pass

What is this?

Welfare@CampusLife have a limited number of one-month gym and swim passes, available for students. These passes include access to the gym facilities, fitness classes on both Bay and Singleton Campuses, as well as the National Pool.

Why are we doing this?

Physical activity is a proven way of improving your mental and physical health. We have purchased these passes to provide an alternative method of support to help students that complement existing advice services, and initiatives. 

We understand that attending the gym or class is not the answer for every student, but we hope it may assist some. For further alternative, non-advisory/clinical support, please consider signing up for CampusLife events, Get Active sessions, a society or volunteering with Discovery.

Who is eligible for a pass?

This opportunity is available to any student who is currently enrolled in Swansea University.

Things to consider before applying

We have a limited number of passes and want to support as many people as possible, so all we ask you to consider is, will you use it?

If you think that going alone will be a barrier for you, why not bring a friend? We welcome you to share this with a friend if it means that you are more likely to use the gym or swim pass.

Testimonials

“It has helped me to add more structure to my week and to break up the stress of university work. It has also been very good for stress, mental health, and of course physical health.” - Student

“A student I was working with was experiencing low mood/anxiety and hardly left the house. She also wanted to go to the gym but couldn’t afford to. After receiving a pass, she went 3-4 times a week and exercised on the other days in the house. The pass incentivised her to get out of the house more, which was a great lift to her mood and provided her with more energy. It also helped her spend time with friends exercising, rather than drinking." Carl – Wellbeing team
