Technique
 
Technique is important because it will hold you back from reaching a competitive speed if you have not mastered technique. In B-Squad training will focus on technique as part of the swimming programme. Having a sound foundation of technique allows the athlete to build on stamina and intensity that is required later in a swimmers career without skill levels breaking down.
 
Training Ethos
 
Training is extremely important to a swimmers development. The swimmers ability to train well will have a direct impact on their progression. The b-squad level swimmers, must want to train to improve. Sessions will be challenging at such a young age but in order for performance to increase, these sessions must be met to gain the maximum benefit. Our training sessions promote a healthy lifestyle in a social and fun environment, and provide physical relaxation and a welcome break from the demands of everyday life.
 
At all time the code of conduct should be followed.
 
Racing
 
Racing techniques will be taught as the swimmer progresses through the swim program, the further through the programme the swimmer goes the more advance the training will be to them enable to compete at county or regional level.
 
Discipline
 
Every swimmers behaviour will be taken into consideration as part of the squads selection process.
