Regional Age is part of the club’s Performance pathway and is aimed at swimmers aged 12-16 who have achieved multiple County qualifying times and are looking to achieve Regional qualification.

Training in Regional Age will be similar to the training in Regional Plus / Development and will be focused on developing the swimmers’ overall conditioning with a large portion of training dedicated to building aerobic capacity.

The squad will be monitored by our Class Lead (Dhaval), which will ensure there is always the possibility for swimmers to move into Regional Plus at any point during the season. This squad is ideal for talented and dedicated swimmers who wish to reach their full potential in the sport by committing to a minimum of 4 sessions per week and entering competitions at the Lead Coach’s request.

Swimmers will be expected to compete in a wide range of events, with a particular focus on distance and middle distance events. Competing in these distance events and completing the training required for them gives the swimmer the best foundation to specialise at a later age.
