This group focuses on freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke, with butterfly in short efforts. In this group the focus is still very much on skill development with competition skills beginning to be taught.
Swimmers in this group are strongly encouraged to start racing. We believe competitive swimming at a low level is important to the swimmers development at this stage.
Racing Skills and the opportunity to get timed swims occurs in our Dragon Racing sessions held each Saturday morning. These sessions are included as part of the squad package.
For those with a confirmed passion for racing, we recommend joining Southside Penrhos Wesley Swimming Club (SSPW).
