The following information provides a summary of progressive levels of development and competency within the swimming club.

Note that information is for general guidance only.  Acceptance and progression of swimmers through squads is at the discretion of Coaches and in agreement with parents.

Our Squads

Learn to Swim

Swimming lessons are available from age 3 upwards.

Swimmers are divided into groups according to ability and will progress through designated awards schemes with certificates and badges to show achievement.

Many of these swimmers progress in to the Academy Squad from after a successful trial going into competitive swimming.

Academy Squad

Available to swimmers aged 6+ that are beginning training in preparation to compete from age 9.  These swimmers are learning the basics of competitive swimming, including starts, turns and stroke technique.

Junior Squads

Swimmers are generally aged between 8-10 years old, that have either moved from the Academy Squad or who have completed a successful trial.  These swimmers are starting to swim competitively at open meets and if selected for teams at the Leagues the club competes in.

Senior Squads

Swimmers generally aged 13 and over by invitation of the Head Coach, dependent on ability and achievement to date.  Usually but not always swimming at Regional and National level.
