BUSL
The British University Swimming League (BUSL) is a fun, friendly yet competitive university swimming league born out of the National University Development League and working together with other student-run swimming leagues across the country.
BUSL consists of three phases. The first of which consists of competitions against each team in the group. The second of which is a larger competition involving all teams in the group. The Third is the national finals held anually consisting of 20 teams in both A and B finals.
DUSC has qualified for the finals four years in a row, finishing as high as 4th place nationally in 2024. In 2025/26, DUSC topped their conference with 129 points after phase two of the competition, with only two teams nationwide beating this tally.
