Squad Development and Training
Raumati Swimming Club invites swimmers of all levels and ages to develop and improve their skills through our specialized squad training programmes. We actively encourage all new squad swimmers to train towards competitive swimming. We hope all swimmers participate in the club race night once a term where swimmers race their own times to get their personel best times (PBs).
Swimmers contemplating squad placement should have a good ability to swim freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke and a beginning understanding of butterfly. It is desirable to have begun to learn to dive and use swimming turns but this is not a pre-requisite. The youngest swimmers in the Minis are aged 7 years.
Swimmers not ready for this may enjoy our Tuesday Club Night where we take children from 4 years up to 13 years.
