Dry land training classes

We offer our swimmers dry-land classes as it  highly benefits their swimming.    

It’s no secret the most successful swimmers in the world don’t achieve their results just by swimming. They have a balanced training program which involves weekly sessions of “dry-land” activities. 

Squad Assessments

  The Senior Squad Coach is responsible for all squad assessments. All current squad swimmers will be assessed throughout their program, not on any particular day. Movement from squad to squad is on coach’s recommendation only. 

Moving Squads

  Unlike learn to swim whereby kids may progress a lot faster through the different levels, squads progress within their squads and could remain in the same squad for months or even a year depending on the kids attendance and effort put into each session. Please feel free to chat with your child's coach to obtain feedback on their progression.
