Squads

Our Squads are broken up into the following categories.

Mini Squad

Our mini squad program introduces children to swimming in squads & builds upon the techniques learned in LTS. In these mini squad levels, the children’s individual stroke technique is further developed. Strength & endurance are further promoted and developed.

Team Squad

Our TEAM squad is aimed at Teenagers following on from Sharks who do not want to take the competitive swimming pathway. This 90min class emphasises endurance, stamina and overall fitness. This level incorporates both the teenage swimmer who wishes to continue swimming for general fitness or as an aerobic training base for other sporting interests.

To be eligible for this group the swimmer must be in high school.

Endeavour Squad - Towradgi

The purpose of the Endeavour Squad is to build on the foundations layered in the mini squad program.

The practice environment encourages and challenge swimmers to strive and Endeavour to meet Age

Regional & Country & State Championship qualifying times.

It is recognised that children develop at differing rates. As for qualifying for championship meets this also can be challenging due to when birthdays occur. For this reason, members of this squad aspire to meet and/or exceed the QT’s.

To allow for this progression, there is an expectation that the swimmer attend a minimum of 3-4 sessions per week.

An additional session will be available at Western Suburbs Pool (50m) in the Summer months. Your squad

coach will discuss an individual’s attendance based on time in the squad, age, progression and importantly

shared goals and aspirations.
