Weekend
Sessions
Coming soon
Weekend squad slots are in development. Register your interest now to be first on the list when they launch.
Adults
Only
18+ required
Squad sessions are for adult swimmers only. Club swimmers aged 9–16 have their own junior drop-in sessions.
Entry level: You should be able to swim 400m continuously without stopping and be comfortable training in a lane with other swimmers. You don't need to be fast — but you do need a solid base to benefit from coached sets.
No wasted
lengths
Every session is structured and purposeful. A coach is on deck from start to finish — not just to set the session and walk away.
Warm-up & drills
Every session opens with a purposeful warm-up and stroke drills that prime your technique before the main set begins.
Main coached set
The core of the session — intervals, threshold work, speed sets or endurance blocks depending on the current training phase.
Paced targets
Every set comes with target times. Knowing what you're swimming to is what separates structured training from just doing lengths.
Poolside coaching & feedback
The coach watches, gives cues and corrects technique throughout the session — not just during the warm-up.
Progressive blocks
Sessions build across weeks in planned training blocks — there's a structure designed to move your fitness forward, not fill time.
Cool-down
Every session finishes properly. Recovery is part of the training — not something we cut because the clock ran out.
More than just
shared lane time
Squad coaching is not lane rental with a coach nearby — it's structured, progressive training with a coach on deck throughout, sets designed for your development and technical feedback built into every session.
Our adult squads will run in the morning for swimmers who want to train hard before the rest of the day starts. Sessions are for adults only, and the pace is serious without being exclusive — you need a solid base, but you don't need to be fast.

Adults who want more
than just shared lanes
Lane regulars
You swim consistently but without structure. Squad coaching adds the progressive framework that turns mileage into improvement.
Masters swimmers
Training for performance or staying sharp post-competition — coached sessions with adult swimmers at a comparable level.
Fitness swimmers
Using swimming as your primary fitness outlet — squad gives you structure, progression and the accountability to actually show up.
Early risers
If you train before the rest of the world wakes up, our morning sessions match your rhythm and make it easy to be consistent.
Motivated adult swimmers
Self-motivated but you train better with a coach on deck and a group alongside you. The squad environment raises your standard.
Cross-trainers
Runners or cyclists adding coached swimming to their training week. Squad provides the structured swim block your programme is missing.

Common
questions
You should be able to swim 400m+ continuously without stopping and be comfortable in a lane alongside other swimmers. You don't need to be fast — but you do need a solid enough base to get real value from coached sets. If you're unsure, enquire and we'll advise honestly.
Sessions follow a consistent structure: warm-up, stroke drills, main coached set (intervals, threshold or speed work depending on the training phase), then cool-down. All sets come with target times and the coach is on deck throughout — giving feedback, adjusting effort levels and making corrections during the session.
Adult squads are not running yet. Register interest and we'll let you know when they start. In the meantime, 1-to-1 coaching is available now and is the quickest way to get a coach's eye on your stroke.
Weekend squad sessions are coming soon. Register your interest via the enquiry form and we'll be in touch as soon as they're confirmed. Swimmers who have already enquired get priority access to the first available slots.
