The swimming season runs in line with the school year of September to July. During the season our swimmers have many opportunities to compete at appropriate levels of swim meet and we encourage them to do so.

Our squads are set-up to reflect objectives and expected outcomes for the swimming year. We endeavour to match swimmer talent and potential with a squad that will stretch them appropriately over the course of the season.

Your child may have opportunities to swim on-island, in Guernsey and in the U.K. or further afield as they move through the competitive squads and achieve the necessary qualifying times for those meets. However, we are equally keen to encourage swimmers who just wish to improve their stroke and use swimming as a means of maintaining high levels of personal fitness through our Fitness squad.

Our swimmers will compete in 'Puffins and Penguins' galas as their first competitive event and then on to Club Championships and island or inter-island events. As they progress there will be opportunities to compete in the U.K. at open meets and subject to qualification into the wider competitive programmes of County, Regional and National events. 

In recent years our swimmers have formed the vast majority of island representative teams for Island Games, Youth Commonwealth and Commonwealth Games. These events provide an opportunity to swim for Jersey and travel internationally.
