Competitive Squad

The swim school extends its Learn to Swim programme with a competitive training offered to proficient young swimmers. Squad training is available at both our Kelston and Mt Eden Pools.

Our coaching staff evaluate swimmers for readiness to transition to competitive swimming, discussing with parents when appropriate. If your swimmer is ready or expresses interest, our coaches will gladly engage in a conversation with you.

Swimmers in these challenging squads focus on continual technique development and fitness training. Our coaches are experienced and friendly and will guide swimmers at their own pace, emphasising a solid technical foundation. As swimmers progress, the programme adapts to their age and skill level, fostering ongoing challenges.

The swim school has a legacy of supporting athletes who have excelled from local competitions all the way to the Olympics. The competitive programme partners with Mt Eden Swimming Club, overseeing registrations, entries, and logistics for competitions.

Squad fees, determined by the specific squad, are paid quarterly to the Dean Greenwood Swim School. Club subscriptions, managed by Mt Eden Swimming Club, are separate.
