This group is where the swimmers step up both the number of training sessions, and the volume and intensity of those sessions.  Work is done on all strokes and race skills with our aim being improvement in competition.

There are 4 Swimming sessions on offer per week and it is recommended that swimmers attend 3-4 sessions per week.

Swimmers must become SSPW club members and should have swimming as one of their major sports throughout the year.
