"Being at ULBC allowed me to not only become a better athlete but provided me with an incredibly strong sense of family. One of my favourite aspects of training at ULBC was the mutual sense of respect and friendship created between the Men’s and Women’s squads through putting in the miles together and training as a whole squad."

"My time at ULBC was unforgettable, piling into the gym to do ergo's, or up out on the beautiful water at 6am, it is a community that still supports me now as much as it did then. "
