National Squad

Squad Goals

RequirementsSwimmers aiming to reach this level of

swimming need to be committed to the program and

session requirement in order to reach the squad goals outlined

above.

Swimmers are expected to make 7 sessions as regularly as

possible. As modern day coaches we understand that swimmers

need an outlet and are going to miss sessions from time to time

due to other commitments, to have fun or to rest. We understand

the importance of recovery and avoiding injury due to fatigue and

we need to keep our swimmers wellbeing as a top priority as

sometime rest is more beneficial than a swim session.
