SQUAD INFORMATION

Fitter Swimming squads cater for adults and teenagers who want to maintain their general fitness through swimming.  Our squads require a basic level of proficiency in freestyle and are designed to improve fitness.  General swimming drills are incorporated into the program along with fly, back and breaststroke where appropriate.  The emphasis of these squads is to build and maintain a strong fitness level and regular attendance is encouraged.

If you’re unsure as to which squad might be suitable come along for a free swim and assessment.  To arrange this and for more information about the squads, e-mail us on fitter.swimming@xtra.co.nz
