Class Descriptions

Find the Right Session

Adult

Swim for Fitness

Interval-based and continuous swimming sets in a structured, coached environment. Swimmers are grouped by ability, encouraging personal progression, pacing, and consistency — with a light competitive edge.

Coaches provide technique cues to maintain efficiency as intensity increases, though detailed stroke correction is not the primary focus.

Best suited for: Adults who enjoy structured training and personal improvement with a non-pressured competitive element.

Adult

Stroke Development

Strong emphasis on stroke correction, body position, breathing, and movement efficiency across all four strokes. Supported by targeted drills and direct coach feedback.

Fitness is developed progressively, but the primary goal is swimming well rather than swimming hard. Suitable for adults returning to swimming or refining technique before moving into Swim for Fitness.

Best suited for: Adults seeking technical improvement and a strong foundation for long-term swimming performance.

Performance

Performance Training

Pace-based programming designed to drive specific physiological adaptations. Training intensities are prescribed from individual swim times, ensuring each swimmer works in the correct energy systems for endurance, speed, and race fitness.

Emphasis on pacing accuracy, technical consistency, and structured progression over time.

Best suited for: Swimmers with a solid foundation comfortable following pace-based training sets.

Junior

Junior Aquatics

Structured programs for younger swimmers building fitness and technique through to athletes preparing for competitive performance. Clear pathway from Junior Squad through to Transition Squad.

Small squad sizes ensure consistent coach attention every session. Full program details including schedules and pricing on the dedicated Junior Aquatics page.

Best suited for: Juniors at any level looking for structured progression in a full 50-metre pool environment. View Junior Programs →
