Preliminary squad: our entry level squad

We invite you to arrange a trial with our preliminary squad coaches; please contact our Swim Secretary Thea Beament on the above e.mail.
Core training pathway
Junior Squad: Those swimmers who develop the right skills and aptitude in our Preliminary Squad will progress to Junior Squad at around age 9 years. Swimmers will continue to develop their swimming technique, including competitive swimming skills, and build their fitness. Verity Brunwin is the lead coach for Junior Squad.
Age Development & Age Fitness: At around age 12 years swimmers will progress to our Age Group squad, with options to continue to train for competitive swimming or purely for fitness. Kay Rex is the lead coach for our Age squads.
Masters swimming: We have an active Masters' squad which includes both those swimming for fitness and competitive swimmers. In the current circumstances there is one session per week but we hope to be back to two sessions per week very soon.
Competitive training pathway
Those swimmers who are frequently competing in galas, open meets and championships may be invited to train with our Competition Squad. The coaches will consider a swimmer's times, attitude, attendance and rate of improvement as equally important factors. The Competition Squad lead coach is Jasper Lye.
