历史
The first swimming races for the institution were advertised in August 1879 with a Swimming Challenge Cup offered over the distance of 1 mile. Swimming is included in the announcement of the Hanover United Athletic Club rules in March 1880, with the season scheduled to run from April to September. G Gray and W Croker were announced as the Captain and Vice Captain of the Swimming Section later that year. With the move to Regent Street, swimming took place at the Fitzroy Baths on Tottenham Court Road, until the construction of the baths at 309 Regent Street in 1884. Water Polo is first mentioned in December of that year and first team was formed in 1890.
