County Club Squad swimmers are expected to:

• Have a goal of swimming in County Challenge & Club Championship galas.

• Be on poolside ready to swim at least 5 minutes prior to the start of the session to warm up effectively, be briefed on the session, and receive any relevant news and information

• Take responsibility for their own training and development

• Be 100% committed in every training session

• Bring their own goggles, float, pull buoy, water bottle, fins, and Norwich Swan hat (all available from the Club Shop) to training sessions

Performance Reviews

Performance reviews will be carried out every six months to monitor swimmers’ progress and assess their suitability to move between squads.
Swimmers who are not meeting the criteria and expectations for the squad will be informed of this, and have a further three months to reach the required standard.  If swimmers are still not meeting the squad’s criteria after the three months, they may be moved to a more appropriate squad for their abilities and ambitions.
