Depending on your ability, we can accommodate the following types of swimmers within the current squad structure.

Development Swimmers who can swim for an hour at least 2000m and can do all 4 strokes.
Swimmers wishing to join university swimming can trial up to three sessions, this allows us to determine are there any needs, and whether we have the right program to support them.
