Forest 4 Squad

Our Forest 4 Squad is the top tier of the swim club programme. This squad will swim up to 7.5 hours a week over five sessions. This squad is focused on those working towards or at high-level county times, as well as regional and possibly national-qualifying level. This squad is focusing on obtaining new PB’s, refining the nitty-gritty elements of stroke technique and race skills, as well as developing a sturdy aerobic foundation to suit each swimmer’s goals and needs. 

Sessions for our Forest 4 Squad will take place 5 times a week, for a duration of 1.5 hours each. Our Tuesday session take place at Holy Trinity and start at 7.30 pm and finish at 9.00pm. Our Monday, Thursday, and Friday sessions are from 7.30pm until 9.00pm at the Leisure Centre with our Sunday session, again at the Leisure Centre, starting at 5.30pm and finishing at 7.00pm. 

In addition to the above, Forest 4 swimmers, if they choose, have an optional 1.5 hours a week no additional cost. These are 3×30 minute session held from 9.00pm to 9.30pm on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays at the Leisure Centre. These sessions are self-led by each swimmer who can choose what their additional training is for. This could be distance, stroke, or related to preparing for another sport. A member of our coaching team will be poolside coaching another squad but will assist if a welfare/safeguarding issues arise.

The primary coach for this squad will be our Head Coach with assistance from other members of the coaching team given where needed. 

This squad will be targeting Level 2 and 3 Open Meets, West Midlands regional championships, county competitions and championships on selection, Arena league, and more. What is more? Let ambition and ability be the judge in the way that our past club Olympians did.
