Our squad program caters for a wide range of swimming levels.
Within all squads, specific importance is placed on the development of
the correct stroke technique. As the swimmer advances through each squad
level they are educated in progressive drills and techniques, whilst improving
on their individual level of endurance. Swimmers are encouraged to reach their full potential by participating in our swimming club and/or other sporting activities, for the development of a holistic athlete. ALL SWIMMERS MUST NOMINATE THE SESSIONS THEY WILL BE ATTENDING JUNIOR-BEGINNER Coach/ swimmer ratio 1:20 JUNIOR BEGINNER Coach/ swimmer ratio 1:20 The junior beginner squad is a natural progression for swimmers graduating from the Swim 'fun' program. This level requires the swimmers to perform mini sets of consecutive 25m lengths while still holding a good technique. This squad aims to educate the swimmers in training etiquette and techniques (e.g. reading the pace clock, lane circling, etc.). Emphasis is placed on improving the swimmer's technique in all strokes and their basic fitness level. Duration: 1 hour Suggested Attendance: 2-3 sessions per week Session Times: JUNIOR-ADVANCED Coach/ Swimmer ratio 1:20 This squad is designed for swimmers who show a desire and ability to undertake a higher level of swimming training.
