Our competitive stream aims to provide a fun, engaging training setting for swimmers ages 6* & older. Training groups are based on skill level and experience, and we invite new swimmers to contact our Head Coach to arrange an assessment before registering.
You can also check out our Program Entry Guide HERE to see which program your swimmer might be ready for, based on their current swimming lesson level.
Please note - we use age groups as a guideline rather than a rule and are happy to work with families to give children a chance to get involved. If you have a swimmer who doesn't seem to fit into one of our program levels due to their age, please reach out to our Head Coach and she will be happy to work with you to find a solution. Our Fit Swim & XTrain groups may be a great place to start!
