The eSWIM Junior Squad is on Autumn / Winter Break and will return in Term 4. If you are interested in signing up please complete the enrolment form and we'll be in touch.
We love teaching and coaching adults at eSWIM and we know it's very different to working with kids. Until now, eSWIM has pretty much solely focused on the wonderful world of adult swimming but now we have a little eSWIM Junior Squad program that will embrace the same sort of ideals that we've always embraced in a supportive, non-competitive environment. We want everyone to enjoy swimming and we want to build confident, technically proficient swimmers without too much focus on competition.
eSWIM Junior is held on Sundays from 4pm - 5pm at HBF Stadium and is open to all school aged children who can comfortably swim in a squad environment.
All sessions will be coached by the fabulous Siobhan Tyndall who has years of experience working with kids of all ages and abilities and is motivated to ensure all swimmers develop the best possible technique they can.
While there will be the ability to attend sessions on a drop-in / casual basis, we will be working in two-week blocks for our inaugural Summer Squad to develop specific skills and encourage swimmers to at least commit to each two-session block, but preferably to the whole sequence:
eSWIM Junior Term 4 2024
The focus for Term 4 will be on preparing the swimmers for the carnival season. Across the Term 4 program, race skills and all four strokes will be included into the sessions so swimmers build confidence and skill levels for their school carnivals.
Term 4 dates - TBC
Swimmers will be graded primarily on ability rather than age. This is a perfect session to complement other sessions swimmers may be doing in a more competitive squad environment but not receiving the specific technical attention they require. They will also suit swimmers who just want to enjoy their swimming without the pressure of competitive performance.
