Squad Training Times

The club's competitive squad provides a full range of opportunities for swimmers to train and compete under the guidance of Head Coach, Karen Pinniger.

Children are selected from the Learn to Swim programme and invited to join the Academy on a Saturday morning.  Here they are coached in specific stroke techniques and drills and taught the competitive start award to allow them to dive safely in preparation for full competition.
