Aims
Swimmers in this squad will be expected to be actively looking to improve and compete. Participation in Open Meets and team events such as Arena League is encouraged.
Swimmers will be given plenty of opportunity to move squads depending on development, progression and motivation.
Pathway Progression
Whilst in our Age Competitive Squad, swimmers exceeding the training requirements and achieving improved personal bests at competitions will lead to a move to either:
- Junior Performance Squad: depending on swimmers age (10+) and personal best times Junior Performance Squad.
- Performance Squad: depending on swimmers age (13+) and personal best times Performance Squad.
The final decision on squad placement rests with the Head Coach, who evaluates each swimmer's overall development.
