Most swimmers start with width classes which encourage familiarity with water and swimming skills.
Swimmers are then encouraged to progress to lane swimming at their own speed.
We hope that swimmers will want to quickly progress to squad training but this is not forced upon anybody who does not wish to do so.
We are a competitive club, among the top performers in Wiltshire with swimmers competing at County, Regional and National level. These rewards come with hard work and dedication.
As swimmers improve, we encourage them to attend more sessions since this improves ability in most cases. If you believe your child would benefit from attending more sessions, please speak with their coach in the first instance who will be pleased to discuss options. Places are often available although this depends on ability.
