Junior Squad sessions are run on weekday afternoons and Saturday mornings.
Intermediate Squad
The Intermediate Squad program is targeted towards young competitive age group swimmers. Squad members should attend at least five sessions each week. Swimmers who cannot commit to these sessions are encouraged to attend the High School Squad.
Intermediate Squad sessions are run on weekday mornings and afternoons and Saturday mornings.
High School Squad
This squad is dedicated to high school aged swimmers who love swimming fast, staying fit and having fun with their teammates. Suitable for social swimmers, the sessions focus on both fitness and speed development.
It is also perfect for swimmers who cannot attend the expected number of sessions of the Intermediate and Senior level squads but wish to still improve their swimming. Swimmers can actively participate in this program with no expectations to compete or attend a certain number of sessions a week.
High School Squad sessions are run on weekday afternoons.
Senior Development Squad
The Senior Development Squad program provides a key pathway for committed competitive swimmers wishing to become high level age group swimmers in their teenage years. Swimmers are actively pursuing swimming as one of their major sporting interests and are swimming at a state level, with goals to work towards a national level, once age appropriate. Attendance expectations are 7 times a week.
Senior Squad sessions are run on weekday mornings and afternoons, and Saturday mornings.
Senior Squad
