Designed for those young swimmers who are keen to get into competitive swimming, our Academy programme offers a new pathway into our Squads.
The Academy is aimed at swimmers 8 and under who are at least at Stage 5 of swim school, or those aged 9 and under who are in Stages 6 and 7. Our focus is on developing key skills such as dives, turns, sculling and streamlining and excellent technique across all four strokes.
We offer a once-weekly 30 minute session with our experienced coaches and a 1:6 teacher student ratio. You can read what we are trying to achieve at every level of our Academy by downloading our handbook.
