At Staines Swimming Club we provide a clear pathway from swim school through to County level swimming. Advanced Teaching & Development are key squads which allow swimmers to enhance their fundamental skills learnt in the swim school and take their first steps into competitive swimming. Squads are based on ability & commitment, with coaching staff make decisions in relation to squad changes. Swimmers are expected to have a positive attitude to training and competing, including having respect coaches, teachers & poolside helpers
