County Potential Squad

The County Potential squad is designed and catered towards supporting swimmers in their journey to county championships on qualification. This is still a development squad that focuses on learning, therefore swimmers will continue working on stroke and skill efficiency, as well as beginning to develop a greater aerobic fitness base. Swimmers are expected to be racing in a range of strokes and distances at competitions. 

The County Potential sessions will be running on three days for 1.5 hours each; there is an additional Friday session by invitation only for swimmers that coaches believe will benefit from the extra session. Session times are Monday and Thursday at 7.30 at the Leisure Centre and Tuesday’s at 7.30 at Holy Trinity.  

The County Potential squad will have a selection of coaches, with other members of the team assisting where possible. This allows for the squad to have the benefit of having a variety of knowledge and experience to support their goals, such as achieving a CQT (County Qualifying Time), maintaining their momentum, and beginning to aspire beyond. 

Competitions such as L3 open meets, arena league and team events on selection, county championships on qualification are all competitions that swimmers in this squad will be targeting and working towards.
