Squads

Warragul Swimming Club provides a comprehensive swimming program for all levels and stages of swimmer development. 

Squads from entry level development squads – concentrating on great stroke technique, improving fitness and developing team spirit– through to elite swimmers at the national level are provided.  As swimmers progress in standard their coach will recommend they move up to the next squad. Progression is dependent on the coaching staff's assessment of the swimmer's progress and the availability of a vacant position in the next squad

Squad Selection

Below is a brief outline of the new squad structure, detailing the primary age and expected ability of the swimmers in each squad.

When Coaches and Team Managers consider which swimmers for squads, they consider the following:

1. A demonstrated ability that swimmers can handle the workload
2. The swimmer’s age & ability to handle the psychology of the group
3. Whether the swimmer is prepared to make the commitment?
4. The importance of ensuring younger swimmers are with appropriate friendship groups
