Academy Red (7-9y)
These sessions are aimed at 7–9-year olds and will introduce swimmers to early competitions and/or time trials as they prepare to move into our main squad programme.
Swimmers spend a lot of time on racing skills (dives, turns, push and glide) to prepare for future competitions.
Swimmers will be introduced to some basic aerobic and speed work, but the vast majority of swimming done at this stage will be technique and skills based. Improving technique at a young age is vital when it comes to the swimmer’s future performance potential and will remain the “number one” focus in this squad.
