National Squad

Our National Squad program is the pinnacle of our Swim Club, dedicated to helping swimmers continue to excel and achieve their competitive and personal goals at the highest level of swimming. This elite program focuses on preparing swimmers to compete not only at regional, state and national levels but also on the international stage.

Led by our esteemed Head Coach, the National Squad undergoes rigorous training across both gym and pool sessions, with morning and afternoon training available. These sessions, lasting 2 to 3 hours each, provide a comprehensive training experience that combines strength conditioning, technical refinement and race-specific strategies.

To fully immerse themselves in the pursuit of excellence, we recommend National Squad members attend training sessions 6 to 9 times per week. This level of commitment ensures that swimmers consistently develop their physical capabilities, refine their technique, and build the mental resilience required for top-tier competition.

Our National Squad program serves as a stepping stone towards major events such as the Australian Age Championships and the Australian Open Championships. Through intensive training, strategic coaching and a supportive team environment, swimmers are primed to perform at their best when representing our club and competing against the nation's top talent.

The National Squad experience extends beyond training and competition. Swimmers benefit from a close-knit community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for swimming and a drive for excellence.
