Swimmers Wanted!

Pentaqua offers both a Transition Squad and a Junior Development squad, which are designed to allow swimmers to start their competitive swimming journey.
Our Transition Squad is designed to allow swimmers aged 7-9 years who have reached L6 or can do the below a chance to swim twice a week to prepare them for competitive swimming.
Our Junior Development squad is for those 9-12 years and provides an opportunity to swim twice a week for 4-8 weeks to prepare them for the next stage of competitive training. Once ready they will move to the next squad and increase their training, this will include mobility and gym training alongside 3-5 swim sessions each week.
If your child/ren are in swimming lessons and are at either L6 or just very water confident and can do the below, then don’t hesitate in contacting us to see if they are ready to come for a trial.
​
Swimmers coming for a Trial should be able to do the following:
​
· Swim Front Crawl with head down and breathing to the side
· Swim Backstroke without the legs sinking
· Swim Breaststroke with correct arm and leg movement
· Swim underwater
· Jump or dive into the pool

The trial will ascertain if the squad environment will be correct for them and if not we can advise them on joining our swim academy or on how to work towards becoming a squad member.
