Squad Criteria

Attending regular sessions is essential for improvement. This is our beginners squad and our swimmers are of a basic level.You must be able to swim without any aids i.e. floats or armbands. Swimmers need to have good kick ability, be able to stay on the surface of the water, swim 25 meters without stopping and able to put their face in the water without panicking.

Training/Technique

Beginners are often focused on just learning to safely make it from one end of the pool to the other, so they do not concern themselves much with technique. Children who work their way through the swimming groups they will learn technique as they progress, but they don’t think of it as technique. They simply learn it naturally and in a fun manner. 

​Kit

Swimmers require the following equipment:

  • Cap, appropriate swimwear, goggles, water bottle, inhalers (if applicable), pull buoy, kick board, training fins.
