SWIM SQUAD

SWIM SQUAD

Experience the Joy in a fun, safe and welcoming aquatic environment

Swim Squad

Squad swimming is a great way for everyone to develop lifelong skills, refine their technique and most importantly have fun in the water. At the Bay Pavilions, the coach is focused on giving every squad swimmer the best possible opportunity to improve and achieve their personal goals.

Our Squad program offers something for everyone, whether that is swimming for fitness, or competitively.

The coaching philosophy at the Bay Pavilions is focussed on developing a positive team environment and culture. We believe that a coach can foster an enjoyable environment where athletes strive to become not only the best athletes they can be, but also develop skills that will enable them to be successful people.

Overall, the squad program promotes a positive learning experience through technical development of all strokes, adding fitness and broadening skill base. As well as improving swimmers’ aerobic capacity to be reinforced through more specific set design.

Coaches are always willing to discuss your child’s progress, recognising that discussions on pool deck can distract from the session, please contact them via phone or email to organise a suitable time.
