Competitive Squads

Teddington Swimming Club prides itself on nurturing our swimmers through our strong development programme and into the performance squads, where swimmers perform at the highest level.

The Competitive Squads allow swimmers who are unable to meet the fullest demands of the Performance Squads training regime to swim competitively and be supported to achieve their maximum performance within their commitment levels.

Club Structure

Competitive Squad 1 (C1)

Lead Squad Coach – Joshua Sullivan

Squad Aims and Objectives

To compete at a Regional level with excellent commitment to the programme. Swimmers will be targeting the Regional Championships and potentially the Summer Nationals. Swimmers should aim to reach the highest levels based on ability and commitment levels.

This squad is for older swimmers who wish to remain in competitive swimming but who cannot commit to the highest levels of training due to school and college examination requirements.

Competitive Squad 2 (C2)

Lead Squad Coach – Jess Holder

Squad Aims and Objectives

To compete at county and regional level competitions with good commitment to the programme. Swimmers will be targeting the County and Regional Championships whilst maintaining a focus on stroke development with an increase in training loads. Swimmers should aim to reach the highest levels based on ability and commitment levels. Some swimmers in C2 squad may wish to push for a move to a performance squad, whereas others may not quite be able to commit to the training requirements of the performance squad, so still have a good number of training hours to target regional meets.
