Development
Development Squad is for swimmers who are new to squad swimming and have completed swimming lessons. Swimmers generally come from a swim school or mini squads.
Primary objectives for Development Squad is to provide sessions that prioritise four key areas. Enjoyment, Technique, Competition and Personal Development.
Development squad swimmers begin to develop a strong and sustainable technique in all 4 strokes and are introduced to our squad training fundamentals heavily focused on technique, but will also start focusing on fitness, covering more distance in preparation for transitioning to the Junior Squad.
Development Squad swimmers are encouraged to attend club Sunday (Intra Club Competition) to get used to how competitions are run. We also recommend that our Development Squad members attend and compete in Local Encouragement Meets.
Development squad swimmers will progress to Junior Squad once they have met certain criteria and technique goals as assessed by coaches.
