Moving from Learn to Swim Lessons into Squad Swimming
Our Cygnet Squads are for swimmers transitioning from a taught Learn to Swim lesson to a coached training session. If you are swimming in Stage 6 or above, love swimming and are keen to improve then Norwich Swan would like to hear from you!
Cygnet squad builds on the skills and practices learnt in Learn to Swim whilst maintaining the emphasis on play and having fun. The squad introduces some of the skills involved in competitive swimming and builds Swimmers’ understanding of streamlining and underwater skills.
Cygnet squad is within British Swimming’s FUNdamentals stage of the Athlete Development Support Pathway. Sessions are structured with a focus on a different stroke each week
After Cygnet, swimmers move on to our Development Squads and can then progress into competitive swimming, OR may choose to continue swimming for fitness instead in one of our non-competitive Club or Fitness squads.
Please email [email protected] for more information on joining our Squads.
Competitive Swimming at Norwich Swan Swimming Club

We cater for competitive swimmers up to a Regional & National standard, and we believe in getting the maximum from every hour of pool time - using detailed planning and regular monitoring of performance (both in training and competition).
We focus on ensuring that you have a solid base of technique to compete at any level against swimmers training considerably more hours in the pool. We have Performance, Competitive and Development levels, split into Youth and Age Group squads. Typically Age Group squads are for swimmers up to 14yrs old, and Youth squads for swimmers 15yrs & older, with dedicated sessions catering for swimmers training for different distance events.
"Sessions are very well organised and the communication from the coaches is first class"
"Both children find the club very very friendly and have been made very welcome"
