Frequently Asked Questions
β What age and ability does my child need to be?
Our main entry point is our Junior Squad. We generally welcome swimmers who have completed Stage 6 or 7 of the Learn to Swim programme or can comfortably swim about 25-50 metres. The best way to know for sure is to come for a free trial.
β What happens at a free trial session?
The trial is very relaxed and informal! It's a chance for your swimmer to join in a regular training session, meet the coaches, and make some new friends. The coach will assess their current ability to see which squad would be the best fit.
β How often do swimmers have to compete?
There's no pressure! While we are a competitive club, we encourage swimmers to compete only when they feel ready. For younger swimmers, the focus is on fun team galas. We also have a Fitness Squad for those who want to train without regular competition.
β What kit do we need to get started?
To begin with, all your swimmer needs is a standard swimming costume or jammers, a pair of well-fitting goggles, and a swimming hat. If you decide to join, we'll give you all the information you need about our official club kit.
