This squad will train 3 times a week. Swimmers are expected to swim distances ranging from 25 metres to approximately 800 metres. All aspects of training will be covered, with a larger emphasis now being placed on fitness levels. Swimmers will be expected to participate in competition throughout the year. Generally most of these swimmers will attend Regional Development Meets, but any swimmer who achieves an ‘A’ time, as set out in the Graded Tables, will now be eligible to swim in the Regional Qualifying Meets (Link to Graded Tables can be found on SwimConnacht). In certain cases a swimmer may be asked to swim on a relay with at a Regional Qualifying Meet.
