Junior Squad

Our junior squad is the first competitive squad within the club structure and aims to introduce swimmers to competition softly if they haven’t already experience this so far. Swimmers must achieve a certain speed before they will be accepted into the squad as well as being to at the least the standard of stage 7 of the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme. To find out more about how swimmers are moved within the junior and squad structure please download the swimmer journey.

Swimmers are expected to be available for selection for galas and relay teams and should regularly enter open meets.

The clubs Junior Squad forms the swim skills section of long-term athlete development often referred to as the athlete development support pathway.

Swimmers within the Junior Squad will also get the opportunity to attend a S&C (strength and conditioning) session weekly which is focused on development swimming motor skills and movement literacy.
