The open performance squad is for those swimmers who are aspiring to compete at a high performance level for swimming in the pool. Swimmers within this squad have swimming as their main focus and are expected to demonstrate a high level of commitment and application to achieve these performance goals. This squad refines and builds on all the skills and capacities from previous squads and aims to strive for excellence within the pool.
This squad offers 9 swim sessions (5 mornings and 4 afternoons). We have a gym program run by Athlete Alliance for 3 sessions per week, this program is optional but recommended at an additional cost (see below).
Athletes within this squad need to consult with the coach on individual basis in regards to their program and achieving their set goals.
Concessions are made for those athletes who are in year 12 at school or at university. They are required to make arrangements to balance their training and study with the coach.
Swimmers must be a member of SSPW and compete at State and National Championships if they have achieved a qualifying time.
