Youth Club Squad

Youth Club Squad caters for swimmers in our performance squads that may not be able to commit to the full training load expected in other squads. Youth Club Squad is for swimmers aged 14 years and over, however, ability level will be taken into consideration. Like Junior Club Squad, swimmers in Youth Club Squad are encouraged to compete but this is not a requirement. Youth Club Squad provides a more relaxed training environment in which swimmers can still work toward improving skills, and fitness. The flexibility involved in this squad provides an excellent opportunity to continue training without the pressure of committing to a full programme.
