Who and why should you join our group training sessions?
Our adult squad sessions suits those who:
- can independently swim a few hundred metres
- want to get fit and tone up
- are returning to pool and need some motivation to get training again
- are training for a specific swimming event
- are wanting to learn and/or improve open water skills
- meet and train with like minded people
We hear a lot “I’m not fit enough to come to squad” but that’s exactly what our swim squads are for! Our squads are also supportive and friendly, and you’ll probably love them.

What are the benefits of Group Training Swim Squads?
Training with a group of like minded people is so much more fun than training by yourself! You’ll be motivated to keep coming and challenge yourself by your Coaches as well as fellow squad members. Swimming socially is rewarding not only for your physical health but mental well-being also.
At our sessions you’ll receive stroke correction to help you swim more efficiently. Our programs are designed to challenge you to work in the various energy systems needed to see improvements in your fitness and swimming.
