ROCHFORD & District Swimming Club

ONE of the leading Swimming Club in SE Essex - We are affiliated to Swim England - Eastern Region

DELEVOPMENT SQUAD

The Development squad is a progression from the academy. In this squad the coach includes more advanced training drills, increases the distance swam in the sessions and works towards preparing them to enter open galas. Swimmers in this squad can swim up to 4 sessions a week and ideally at least twice a week for the best progression, but no mandatory sessions are set.

In this squad we want swimmers to grow, have fun and reach the potential to advance to the next level.

A test set for the next stage will be used for grading.

Development squad times:

Monday  5.30am to 7am (flexible with finish time).

Tuesday  7.15pm to 8pm

Thursday  7.15pm to 8pm

Saturday  7am to 8am

Young Performance Squad

The Young Performance Squad is a vital part of the journey to becoming a competitive swimmer. Once individuals have passed the test set from Development to be part of this squad, swimmers have to commit to swim at least three sessions a week. They would be expected to enter open competitions and be fully focused to reach their full potential.

Swimmers continue to build stamina and speed while being coached on technique. Strokes are polished in this squad, and starts and turns are focused upon to ensure the swimmers are competitive when racing.

The sessions will be set up for swimmers to improve their times or even reach an Essex Qualifying time. The squad are young, so the training will be challenging but with fun elements too.

If a swimmer no longer wants to commit or is struggling to make the sessions, they can move to the Junior squad.

RADS are all about helping swimmers and making their swimming experience fun and enjoyable. This is why we have flexibility in our squads.

A test set for the next stage will be used for grading.

Monday’s   5.30am to 7am (flexible with finish time).
