Forest 1 Squad

Our Forest 1 Squad is the first of four squads catered to age-group and youth swimming learning, development and performance – all of which are aimed to ensure that swimming technique is developed, improved and maintained to suit each swimmer’s goals, interest and needs.  

Swimmers in this squad will be improving stroke efficiency, learning and practising more complex race skills over longer distances during sessions. Swimmers in this squad are working towards confidence in all 50m events, as well as 100m events. This squad will swim up to 2.0 hours a week over two sessions. 

Sessions for our Forest 1 Squad will take place 2 times a week, for a duration of 1 hour each. Session times are Tuesday’s 7.30 till 8.30pm at King Charles and Sunday’s 4.30 till 5.30pm at the Leisure Centre.  

Forest 1 will be led either by a Level 1 or 2 coach, along with others assisting. Coaches will swap squads every now and again to share their individual knowledge with a variety of swimmers – it keeps things fresh for coaches and swimmers alike! 

In this squad, swimmers are expected to participate in low-level competitions, such as WSCA Development Meet, and low-level external and internal galas, diddy and age-group leagues on trial and selection.
