Aquatic Squad

Swimmers

Our Aquatic Squad is for college aged swimmers who are looking for a training environment that will improve their swimming stamina, speed and increase their endurance and capacity to compete in other water based sports.

To train with the Aquatic Squad swimmers need to have a strong base of swimming skills, stamina and ability and be ready to train in a larger squad environment. This squad is suited to swimmers who are training for other water based sports such as surf life saving, water polo, triathlons or ocean races and are confident swimming up to 3km in a 1 hour training session.
