Our new structure consists of a newly implemented ‘Junior Development Squad’ which is for swimmers who have just completed the ‘Learn to Swim’ and is an introduction to squad based training. Swimmers then progress into the ‘Development Squad’ upon advice from the Coaching Panel, this squad is to further develop and enhance their swimming skills learnt from the Junior Development Squad, with an emphasis on learning the techniques of competitive racing. Then the final squad is ‘Elite Squad’, The Elite Squad is for those swimmers who, according to the Coaching Panel, have progressed with technique, fitness and work ethic beyond the Development Squad and are seeking to qualify for the VIC and/or SA Country Championships & VIC and/or SA State Championships & Australian Age.
