The Competition squad is the more challenging of the two squads, aimed at swimmers looking to race and compete against other universities or who have a competitive swimming background. This however does not mean you must compete if you are a Competition squad member nor are there qualification times or minimum training requirements. The only requirement is that you are able to do the sets in training. Our mindset is that if you want to improve your swimming and get pb's, you know you need to train and the only person who can do that is you. Each session is taken by either our Head Coach Matt or Deputy Head Coach Fil who are dedicated to helping you achieve whatever goal you have. We usually recommend anyone who has swam at a county level or above to join the Competition squad. 

When selecting swimmers for our teams we consider both squads, but the Competition squad is where our top swimmers regularly selected for A and B teams reside. Training is designed around and follows cycles that coincide with competitions to ensure peak performance for every event. A typical week for a Competition squad member consist of up to seven swimming sessions totalling nine hours of pool time along with two strength and conditioning gym sessions. If you're looking to get faster and train hard every session, then the Competition squad is where you should be.

Our membership gives you access to all competitions, weekly socials and special events. Details on how to join the Competition squad and purchase a membership can be found on our Membership page.
