How well do I have to swim to join?
Our squad sessions are designed to be inclusive and supportive, running across several lanes with training programs that accommodate a wide range of abilities—from novices to serious competitive swimmers.
However, we ask that you be able to swim at least 50m of continuous freestyle (with fins is fine). If you haven’t reached this level yet, we encourage you to join a learn-to-swim session at your local pool to build up your skills.
Everyone is welcome, and we’re here to help you improve and enjoy your swimming journey!
do i need equipment, or do you provide it?
You will need to bring some personal equipment with you and take it home after the session (i.e. we do not have storage at the pool):
- Goggles: Chlorine in the eyes isn’t fun, and seeing where you are going is handy. If you stick with it and you wear glasses, you may wish to purchase prescription goggles online.
- Swimwear: Whether you call them swimmer, togs, cossies, or bathers, you’ll need your own pair for each session. Choose what you’re comfortable wearing, but typically a one-piece suit or briefs designed for competitive swimming are the most comfortable choices.
- Fins/Flippers & Pull Buoy: While not mandatory, we will use these most sessions especially during warm up. They will help you get the most out of your training.
- Kickboard: Kicking is included in some of our sessions. Whether or not you use a kickboard is a personal preference.
- Towel: You’re going to get wet and you’ll want to get dry.
- Seasonal Clothing: We swim all year round, so dress appropriately for the weather. But don’t worry, the pool is heated to a delightful 27.5 degrees.
- A Can-Do Attitude: This isn’t strictly necessary, but it’ll make things more fun for everyone.
