Tuesday / Thursday afternoon
4pm - 5pm or 5 - 6pm (squad dependant)
Swimmers are encouraged to speak to the coaches about the number of sessions that they should be attending. With our short season we have found that the potential injuries with over training can be high - please be mindful of training within your fitness and skill set. 8U swimmers will be offered afternoon sessions only (and possibly move to mornings at the discretion of the coaching team). 10U swimmers need to talk with the coach regarding morning sessions.
