OUR SQUADS
Our club has 7 different swimming squads. We welcome all swimmers and although we are primarily a competitive swimming club, some of our swimmers, use swimming to help improve their fitness and readiness for sports such as water polo and triathalons, and we have two squads designated for this
COACHES assess each swimmer and will choose which squad and number of sessions an athlete is suited or ready for.
Please look though the information below to find out more about each squad. No board shorts or rashies are permitted as this interferes with technique development.
