Strength & Speed Squad

Come along swim fast and have fun with your friends.

We have created the Strength & Speed Squad for swimmers who would like to swim up to 3 x 45minutes sessions per week.   This squad is aimed towards swimmers who have completed competition squad and want to stay in the sport, but do not want the intense commitment of the performance squads. Typically swimmers in this group are teenagers and are training for school competition or fitness.

This group is focused on competition training and is directed at improving all strokes. Competition skills such as starts, turns and finishes are worked on during training where possible. Swimmers in this group have the option to join the Southside Penrhos Wesley Swimming Club if they would like to have racing opportunity. Advice can be sought from the coaching staff as to what competition is appropriate, Club or Swimming WA.
