Our Mission
Designing, building and racing a human-powered submarine is a goal that can only be achieved by a team of dedicated, enthusiastic and motivated individuals working together, sharing complementary knowledge and skills. The team is drawn from all faculties of the university. Engineers design the machine, Makers build it, Divers get it moving, Programmers keep it on course, and Management makes it all happen.
Read on for how you can get involved.

Human-powered submarine racing is a unique engineering and sporting challenge. Essentially an underwater bicycle, the flooded submarine enclose a scuba diver who uses their muscles to provide propulsion power. The submarines, from universities all around the world, are run against the clock at races in the UK, US, France and Germany. The HSRW Submarine Team has taken part in a race every year since its inception in 2012, holding its own against some of the world's biggest universities, bringing home trophies for design and medals for performance.
