About
Development Squad is a smaller squad, offering the opportunity for those looking to enhance their swimming ability, potentially looking forward to a spot in the competitive squad. To be a part of the squad, swimmers must attend trials as there is a minimum standard to be attained but this is significantly lower than our competitive squad.
Training
Development Squad has access to up to six swimming sessions a week, many of them taking place alongside competitive sessions, allowing the squads to integrate and train similarly. Development Squad also has access to two strength and conditioning sessions, once again, integrated with our competitive squad.
Trials
Keep an eye out on our Instagram for more information on trials. Trials are normally held in Term 1, Week 1 and Term 2, Week 1.
