The Swim team is made up of two squads:

Development Squad

  • Run by the committee/qualified volunteer student coaches
  • Ideal for swimmers who have no experience in competitive swimming, wish to develop their strokes, gain new skills and improve their fitness.
  • Provides an adaptable, relaxed, fun environment where you can meet new people, socialise, improve and take a break from studying

Competitive Squad

  • Train up to four times a week in the afternoon/evenings including strength and conditioning sessions.
  • Is run by a professional, qualified, independent coach who is able to bring out the best in all our swimmers so that they can meet their potential and have fun while doing so.
  • Train with the intention of competing at galas held locally and nationally.
  • Is ideal for swimmers with competitive experience (even if they haven’t raced in a while), for those that wish to take their training to the next level or are simply willing to commit to a slightly more demanding training schedule.
