Junior Squad
The eSWIM Junior Squad is returning after our winter break and will recommence on Sunday 3 November.
Please fill in an enrolment form if you are a new swimmer.
We love teaching and coaching adults at eSWIM and we know it's very different to working with kids. After the success of our first season of our little eSWIM Junior Squad we're thrilled to be returning with our unique supportive, non-competitive squad 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.
Our superstar Juniors Coach, Siobhan will be heading off on maternity leave this season but she will be on deck for the first two weeks to introduce our new Junior Squad Coach David "Lockey" Locke to everyone. Lockey is an equally awesome coach and 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 Summer 2024/25
The focus for the summer will be on preparing the swimmers for the carnival season in 2025. Across the program, race skills and all four strokes will be included into the sessions so swimmers build confidence and skill levels for their school carnivals.
Squad dates 2024/25 - Sunday 4pm - 5pm
3 November - 8 December 2024 (Christmas / New Year break 9 December - 11 January inclusive)
12 + 19 January 2025
2 February - 6 April 2025
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.
