About our swim training sessions

 

Safety.

 

The health and safety of our swimmers are of utmost importance to us. Be sure to tell your coach if you have any soreness or injuries before jumping into the pool.

 

Confidence.

 

For any new members considering our swim club, we do expect you to be comfortable with consecutive lap swimming (300m any swim stroke). We don’t expect you to be fast, just passionate about being in the water and counting laps.

When you arrive at the pool, a coach will have a quick chat to you to ascertain your swimming experience and place you in an appropriate lane for the session.

Once the training session starts just swim with those in your lane as best you can. To improve your skills in the water, the coach will give you some feedback as you go along. Members within your lane can also help guide you on any questions you may have during the session.

You may be asked to move lanes depending on how you’re going. We all shift around a bit so don’t get worried if you’re asked to move into a different lane. The idea is not to exhaust yourself – just swim to your ability and try to enjoy your time in the water.

Style.

 

Please wear swimwear and goggles suitable for lap swimming and if you have any, or all; fins, pull buoy and/or kickboard, please bring these with you.

For transgender, non-binary, and genderqueer swimwear options please find some local and global swimwear options to help make you feel comfortable in the water.

 

Progress.

 

Whether you want to swim to increase your fitness or to compete locally or globally, our coaches and members are a community that celebrates your achievements.

Let coaches know your goals and lets as a team help you reach them.

No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch
