Squads

Our Swim Squad framework has been designed to cater for individuals who have passed Level 6 in our Learn to Swim Framework. These students can either choose our Competitive Squad pathway or follow our Fitness Squad pathway. 

The Competitive Squad (Junior or Senior) focuses on improving swimmer's overall skills to achieve their goals. Our focus is to teach swimmers to have an efficient stroke, excellent technique, and refining skills (dives, turns and streamlines). Our experienced coaches work with swimmers to develop the individuals’ strengths and weaknesses through a combination of pool and dryland training. Swimmers from this group will have the opportunity to compete in various competitions, from local meets to the Victorian State Championships and the Australian National Age Championships.

The Fitness Squad is designed for our water polo players, surf lifesaving competitors, triathletes, and our School swimming team members to maintain and improve their fitness for their chosen sport. The sessions will be tailored to their specific sport and performance needs.

For further details about what program is best for your swimmer, please book a time to come in and meet our staff who can help guide you in the right direction.

Squad allocations will be at the discretion of the Head Coach
