Our Mini Squad

 

With a focus on technique and stamina for distance, our swimmers continuing beyond achieving 25m in Backstroke, Breaststroke and Freestyle join our Sharks Mini Squad.

 

Children 6 years and older, competent at swimming 25m in Backstroke, Breaststroke and Freestyle, are able to become sharks with 1 or 2 squad sessions each week (during the summer). Assessment of ability will be undertaken in the first session and swimmers who would be better in our Crocodile Classes will be notified and reassigned to the most appropriate level.

 

Targets of 50m, and 100m are set for each stroke (also 200m & 400m for F/S) and each swimmer is coached on technique as they work towards the completion of the SHARK certificate. Butterfly is introduced at this level and the correct starts and turns for each stroke are also included in the 45 minute classes.

 

Class numbers are limited to 8 swimmers.

 

We work closely with the Queenstown Swimming Club coaches, to provide the best preparation for swimmers wishing to continue their swimming into competition and pave the transition in association with the club.
