This group is focused on competition preparation and is directed at improving all competition strokes. Competition skills such as starts, turns and finishes are given more attention.
Swimmers in this group are expected to participate at the Saturday mornings Dragon racing to further develop racing skills which are being taught during our weekly training sessions in a competitive yet fun environment.
Progressing from Dragon racing swimmers are encouraged to join the Southside Penrhos Wesley Swimming Club, race at club race days and then compete to their highest possible level in the Swimming WA calendar.
If swimmers have state championship qualifying times they are invited to compete and be available for relays. Advice can be sought from the coaching staff or at swimming club mornings as to what competition is appropriate.
