Swimmers of these squads have moved through the Club into the “Training to Train” phase of the Long-Term Athlete Development Plan as set out by Swim England.

Aims of the squad: Attend all sessions as directed, willingness to learn, compete in all designated open meets and galas, good lane discipline, willingness to support team mates in training and competitions, punctuality and respect to coaches and other volunteers on poolside.

Attendance and progress will be monitored by the Squad Coach and Head Coach. Swimmers not training or competing regularly could be asked to move squads. Movement from this squad will be at the discretion of the coaches in discussion with the Head Coach, and will be based on technique, skill, performance, attendance and attitude to training.

Due to a recent restructure, this criteria is due to be updated shortly.
