Swimming - Squads

The club squad structure has four distinct training groups which cater for the swimming and developmental needs of the swimmer as they progress through their swimming experience. An overview of the four squads is below:-

• Academy Squad- for the youngest of aspiring swimmers; typically age 6 or ASA Level 5
• Development Squad - that which caters for the younger swimmer who is still learning how to swim
• Transition Squad - a group which takes the fundamental skills needed to swim and refines them
• Competition Squad - the squad which begins to take the skills learned and develop them into competitive attributes
• Performance Squad - This top squad is the elite of the club where those involved regularly participate in galas and 'train to train'
