Children's activity clubs & classes

An overview of the club squad structure is detailed below:-
Academy Squad 1,2 & 3 - for the youngest of aspiring swimmers; typically age 7 or ASA level 6
Development Squad 1& 2 - that which caters for the younger swimmer who is still learning how to swim
Transition Squad 1 & 2 - a group which takes the fundamental skills needed to swim and refines them
Competition Bagcat Squad - the squad which begins to take the skills learned and develop them into competitive attributes
Sprint 1,2 & 3 - This is a squad where speed is of the essence! All swimmers will be looking to compete at county/regional level in a selection of events.
Performance Squad - This top squad is the elite of the club where those involved regularly participate in galas and 'train to train'
Masters - for those who are looking to continue swimming purely for fitness reasons they may also be called upon for team galas.

Within the club, we foster an atmosphere of personal effort, support and healthy competition. Each child progresses according to their ability and confidence through the squad structure with coaching tailored to their level of development.

Alongside the swimming, we have an active social calendar which we encourage all members and parents to take an active part in our activities. We also encourage parents to choose to become involved volunteers; helping out on poolside, to train as coaches or officials, or join our committee as their children's interest in the sport grows.

We regularly have places available for new members to join our coaching programme, so why not come along for a trial?

Swimmers will be required to undertake a swimming trial at The Dunstable Centre with our Head Coach or Assistant Head Coach. They will then be informed by the head coach completing the trial whether they are accepted or not and if so, which squad they have been placed into.
