Overview of Training
Nightcliff Swimming Club training squads are formed in line with Swimming Australia “Multi Year Age Group Swimmer Development Model.” This means that squads are selected on the following criteria:
- Satisfactory development of skills and technique
- Ability to cope with the volume and intensity of work
- Preparation and desire to work in the program
Nightcliff has a minimum standard for joining each squad. Mini squad members need to be at least 5 years of age and be able to swim 25 metres in each of backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. The Coach makes the final decision on acceptance of swimmers into any of the squads.
