Development Squad

Swimmers learn the basics of squad training such as correct turns, using the pace clock, listening to coaching advice and developing the self discipline to progress to White Squad.

White Squad

In White Squad swimmers are expected to train twice a week.  Sessions are mainly focussed on the development of excellent technique and improving aerobic conditioning.  The basics of competition swimming are introduced and attendance at competitions is encouraged.

Green Squad

Once swimmers reach this squad they should be competing regularly and are expected to train a minimum of three sessions a week.  In Green Squad swimmers continue their focus on technical excellence which is expected to be maintained as the intensity and difficulty of training increases.

Blue Squad

Swimmers who have progressed from Green Squad, who have a focus other than elite level swimming, are encouraged to join this squad.  Requiring only three sessions a week and offering up to six, this squad is ideal for junior triatheletes, surf  life savers, school swimmers and those just wanting to keep fit.

High Performance Junior Squad

Suitably committed and proficient swimmers are offered places in this squad by the coaching team.  In High Performance (HP) Junior, swimmers are required to do a minimum of six sessions a week and are also introduced to a very light gym/core strength session once a week.  The aim of this squad is to produce state champions and national qualifiers, therefore commitment and dedication are imperative.

High Performance Senior Squad

Swimmers who have achieved age national qualifying times and whose aim is to qualify for open national level, make up this elite level squad.  Other swimmers who have been identified by the Head Coach as having elite potential are also invited to join; including elite open water and triatheletes.  An optimum level of commitment is required of these athletes on an individual basis.
