Aims
This squad is the entry level to our Club. Swimmers in this squad will be expected to be actively looking to improve and develop the skills they learned in Learn to Swim with the aim of competing. Technique development will be critical at this stage. Participation in events and galas will be advised by the coaches. Opportunities to participate in Junior Arena League will be provided.
These swimmers will be given plenty of opportunity to move squads depending on development, progression and motivation.
