Please note all team and squad selections are the decision of the Head Coach.
The club is entering a new era, and to fulfil the next stage we have changed some of our guidelines.
We have taken the guidelines from the British graded tables 2009, which have been used as the base line of setting up other Performance Centre’s, within Wales. |
The guidelines are set at all distances and ages starting from 9 to 17. Ages are as at per the 31st December in any year.
Swimmers over the age of 18 years old must have a qualifying time for the Welsh Senior Age Groups which is held at Easter. Squads below F5, will continue to work on their technical and aerobic abilities, in line with LTAD. |
All children develop and grow at different times, so it is important that parents don’t judge their child against another, who may be developing in a totally different way.
This is a complex area, so as a parent you need to be patient, encourage, transport and feed and water your child, and leave the rest to us |
