Competition Squads
Following progression through first our ‘Learn to Swim’ and then our ‘Learn to Compete’ programmes swimmers will then be invited to join our Competition Squads transitioning through each squad as they meet the necessary criteria.
These advanced squads are for those swimmers who enjoy swimming fast and, when ready, want the opportunity to compete with others whether it be at club, county or national level. More information about our advanced Competition Squads can be found by clicking on the following links:
-Competitive Development Squad
Competition swimmers, or those with aspirations to compete, wishing to transfer to us from another club will trial to identify the squad that will best suit their needs.
To assist swimmers achieve their potential several key principles are in place:
-Swimmers of like training ability train together
-Swimmers of similar competitive ability train towards similar aims
-Objective measures are used so coaches can consider which training group a swimmers should be in
-A progressive overall programme is available for swimmers to work within through their swim journey, which mirrors their competitive aims
-A set of key markers are provided that encourage the swimmers to develop good habits, skills and attitudes for themselves & their team mates and thus represent WFSC in a positive light wherever they train or compete.
