Competition Squad A

We have a thriving Competition Squad A, with many of our swimmers joining us through our comprehensive Learn to Swim programmes.

Competition Squad A

We believe in creating a friendly and fun atmosphere for the children to train. In return we ask them to attend a minimum of 2 training sessions (out of the three on offer) per week. We train at the Link Centre in Swindon on Sundays, and at Lime Kiln Centre on Tuesdays and Fridays where we can concentrate on diving and start techniques. Our achievements are gained with good training ethics and attendance, which gives us our great reputation.

Kit list

For swimmers in our competition squads we would recommend the following kit – mesh kit bag, kick board, pull buoy, training fins (not flippers), hand paddles and a training snorkel.

Competing

We participate in the Wiltshire Summer and Winter Leagues, choosing swimmers on their performance and commitment. We also encourage our swimmers to participate in various events throughout the year including the Wiltshire County Championships, Age Groups and Sprints, and open meets at Millfield and Salisbury.

We hold our own Annual Club Championships throughout November, encouraging all our swimmers to participate in a total of 17 events from 50m Butterfly to 800m Freestyle. We celebrate the swimmers successes at our Annual Presentation & Social evening in the Spring. This year over 240 people enjoyed watching swimmers from 7 years old through to adults receive over 1200 medals, trophies and Awards.
