Helloooo! We are the Swansea Sirens, Swansea Universities Cheer and Dance club!
Cheerleading is a great way to keep fit and involves a mixture of stunting, tumbling, acrobatics and dance. We will teach you everything you need to know, so don't worry about not having any experience if you are thinking of joining our club! In previous seasons we have placed first in several divisions, receiving 3 Grand Champion National titles, and last year receiving some of our highest scores to date! We are acitvely recruting for new members for the 24/25 season, and cannot wait to get the year started.
We offer a variety of teams that suit ALL abilities and encourage everyone to get involved. We have competitive teams which require a higher level of commitment and training, as well as the chance to perform at national competitions across the UK. These include 3 cheerleading teams and 2 dance teams. On top of these, we also have our game day team which gives you the opportunity to perform a coach lead routine at lots of university matches! New for this year, we also have our Development Team which will be our largest. This team is completely inclusive and more relaxed while still allowing you to try all the elements of cheerleading from tumbling and jumps, to stunting and dance.
Here are just some of our fantastic highlights we have had over the past few years, we would like to say a massive thank you to all previous captains and committees that made them happen! =
