Swim training volumes and goals are deeply individual. The right approach will consider your experience, event, age, and personal ambitions. Track your progress, listen to your body, and remember that improvement is a journey marked by consistency, adaptation, and the joy of moving through water. By thoughtfully managing your training volume and setting meaningful goals, you’re setting yourself up for a lifetime of swimming achievement—and enjoyment.

Swim squad progression is the process by which swimmers move from one training group or squad to another, usually reflecting their growth in skill, performance, and commitment.

Key principles include:

Skill Development: Advancement is often based on technical improvements, mastery of strokes, good training habits.

Consistency & Commitment: Attendance, attitude, and willingness to learn play a significant role in progression.

Performance Standards: Swimmers are commonly required to achieve specific performance benchmarks to move up.

Age & Maturity: Physical and emotional readiness alongside performance.

Coach Assessment: Our coaches regularly evaluate swimmers, offering feedback and guidance on when a transition is appropriate.
