Squad Swimming

For the child who is hoping to be a competitive swimmer or a proficient recreational swimmer, the coaches in our swim squad programme provide advanced stroke correction and technique advice so swimmers of all ages can reach personal goals and achieve fitness results.

Squads are great way to stay fit and healthy in the pool and offer a progressive pathway from our swimming lessons. We create a team environment that brings everyone together and puts the fun back into swimming.

We aim to build a sound base of strength and fitness. JDS starts with breaststroke and butterfly as these are the strokes that will help you find your centre of gravity and balance.

Competitive Elite Development Squad (CEDS)

The CEDS squad works to produce swimmers that are capable of participating in high level competitions. CEDS will be a squad which will travel and compete in local, regional, and national swim meets.
