In this squad level the techniques developed in Squad Silver are consolidated and new skills are introduced in each of the four strokes.  The goals of this group are:

• To develop new stroke skills
• To significantly improve fitness by introducing longer and more demanding swims
• To continue to develop racing skills
• To become proficient in the use of the pace clock
• To introduce specific periods of endurance, skill and competition training

Depending on the type of session this group will swim between 1800m - 2500m.  Fitness sessions, for example will cover a greater distance in comparison to a sprint session.

Now's the time to be a 'State Swim Challenger'.
