Squads

Promotion to this level is at the discretion of the coaching team, once your child has graduated from our Orca level (or an equivalent level at another swim school).

Typically, swimmers would be swimming a minimum of 2 or 3 Orca classes a week and show interest in pursuing swimming as their main sport.

In addition to the entry criteria, your child would need to commit to a minimum of 3 x 90-minute sessions per week.

We strongly encourage our swimmers to be actively training towards specific goals and therefore be members of a Swimming NSW affiliated swimming club and attend competitive meets.

Fitness Squads are available to swimmers who have graduated from our Orca level, (or equivalent level at another swim school), but don’t wish to pursue a competitive path.

Fitness Squads are a welcoming space to improve your child’s overall fitness. As well as supporting their success in other sports, because swimming at this level, provides an overall body workout. Improving muscles and aerobic performance that will help underpin improvements in other sports.

Your child would only need to commit to a minimum of 1 x 90-minute session per week.

All squad swimmers are required to attend with their own swim kit. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Competitive – kickboard, fins, finger and hand paddles, pull buoy, band and drink bottle.
• Fitness – kickboard, fins, pull buoy and drink bottle.

Plus lots of energy, enthusiasm and a sense of fun and enjoyment.
