Swimming Squad Review Process

The coaching team at CoCSC constantly monitors the attendance and progress of all swimmers across each squad to ensure they can maximize their potential and are in the correct squad that best suits their abilities and commitment to training.

Swimmers are under regular review, with squad movements taking place in September, January, and April or that fits in with the competition cycle and targeted meets. This ensures that swimmers remain in the most suitable squad for their development, while also allowing for continual progression of the squad and the club.

All swimmers will be provided a sufficient period of time in the squad to allow a time of transition, adjustment and time for training and race improvement, unless in exceptional circumstances or attendance criteria not being achieved.

Swimmers must always meet and maintain the required squad attendance and criteria, unless due to exceptional circumstances like injury and illness (that has been communicated and discussed with the coaching team) could lead to the reallocation of an individual’s squad.

Swimmers under 75% in the Performance squads (unless discussed and agreed with the Coaching Team) will be reminded of the commitment levels and standards they have agreed to by accepting a place within the Performance Squads, while they put their place in jeopardy if there are swimmers looking to move into the squad & risk not achieving the progression required.

Swimmers need to demonstrate ongoing progress both in training and competition performance and display the required work ethic and commitment to retain their place in the P3, P2, P1.

Any changes in squad placement will be communicated officially by the club and directly by email.

Swimmers or parents seeking clarification or having questions regarding squad movements can contact the coaching team via email to [email protected].
