*We would like to encourage swimmers enrolling in the mini squads to swim twice a week. Currently the one session per week is not sufficient overall for these swimmers to see a significant improvement in their swimming skills, technique and endurance and therefore the coach is recommending the increase to 2 sessions/week. We understand that families can be very busy and are unable to commit the time. We invite you to speak with the coach regarding your circumstance.
