Competitive Swimming PDF Print E-mail
 Our training programme is designed to ensure that all swimmers are able to fulfil their own personal maximum potential.  Progression and performance is constantly monitored.  GATORS work hard to balance a sense of fun, a strong team spirit and high levels of achievement.

 

ella.jpgSwimming on Club Nights gives swimmers the opportunity to train more regularly (3 times a week, with a commitment to attend at least 2 sessions per week - each session is 1 hour) and to compete in galas that are carefully chosen to reflect every swimmers individual ability. Swimmers are assessed upon joining and placed in a level which suits their current skills. For swimmers who wish to take their training to the next level may aspire to join the Squad Training Programme subject to adherence to the Squad Entry and Progression Criteria.

Sessions are taken by qualified coaches and training sets prepared not only to improve overall performance, ie stroke technique, fitness levels, etc., but are also written to ensure that swimmers have fun and enjoy the training sessions. Young swimmers often experience their first taste of competitive swimming by participating in the Club's Mini League Galas which are great fun for both the swimmer and parent alike.  Opportunities to progress to the next level of competitive swimming are available by attending Open Meet Galas.

For those who may want to take their swimming to a higher level, swimmers, subject to age/ability may be offered a place in the Gators Squad Training Scheme (scroll down) in adherance to the Squad Entry and Progression Criteria.
