Entry Criteria

  • Aged 13+
  • Regional level and above.
  • Head Coach’s discretion.

Attendance

Swimmers are expected to attend a minimum of 6 sessions per week including at least one land training session.

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 will be expected.

These swimmers will be actively targeting entry to Regionals and Nationals.

Pathway Progression

The Perfomance Squad is the top squad at the City of Southampton Swimming Club with our best swimmers aiming to compete at Nationals so swimmers in this squad are already in the best place to help them achive their full potential.

  • Not fulfilling the training attendance requirement: 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.

All moves are at the Head Coach’s discretion.
