What is a swim squad?
For both younger swimmers and adults, squad training lessons are designed to help competitive swimmers build strength, racing skills, develop lifelong skills, refine stroke technique, and gain greater proficiency in the water.
A swim squad entails more advanced drills and more rigorous training sessions than a normal Learn to Swim lesson. Squad members learn training techniques for more aerobic endurance in an optimal learning environment so they can progress onto national competitions (and have some fun in the water too).

- Learning discipline
- Becoming part of a team
- Creating lifelong friendships
