Aims

Swimmers in our Junior Performance Squad are expected to be actively looking to improve and compete. Participation in Open Meets and team events such as Arena League will be expected.

Swimmers will be actively targeting entry to Counties and Regionals and aiming for Nationals.

Pathway Progression

Our squad structure is designed to help every swimmer reach their full potential. Progression is a result of consistent effort and strong performance, and all decisions are made by the Head Coach.

• For our elite swimmers: Exceeding the squad’s training requirements and consistently improving your personal best times at competitions can earn you a place in the Performance Squad.
• For maintaining your position: Regular attendance is the foundation of every athlete's development. Swimmers who do not meet the required attendance will be moved to the Age Group Competitive Squad.

The final decision on squad placement rests with the Head Coach, who evaluates each swimmer's overall development.
