Squad placement

Initial assessments about ability and squad placement will be made by our Coaches. Ongoing transition between squads is also at the discretion of our Coaches, pending space availability as advised by the Committee.

No long term commitment

We recognise that sometimes circumstances can change and/or families decide that squad swimming isn't for them. That's why we only require one month's paid notice of intention to discontinue with Trojans.

Squads

A recently refreshed squad structure offers more opportunities than ever for swimmers of all abilities to benefit from the Trojans coaching programme.

Junior Development

Generally catering for our newest and/or youngest swimmers, Junior Development focuses on refining techniques across all four strokes while improving fitness, alongside the fundamentals of competitive swimming - starts, turns, and a good training ethos. There is a also a big focus on having fun, and developing an enthusiasm for the sport of swimming. Swimmers in Junior Development do need to meet an appropriate standard of squad swimming ability, as assessed by our Coaches.

Age Development

Age Development swimmers demonstrate a reasonable level of competency across all four strokes, and can cope with the demands of up to three challenging sessions per week, which have been designed with competitive swimming in mind - although this is not a mandatory requirement. Ongoing stroke development remains a priority while elements of swimming education, such as swim meet conditioning, are also introduced.

Age Performance

Age Performance swimmers will generally have several years' squad swimming experience, and are capable of completing at least 3-4 challenging sessions per week. They are mostly capable of meeting qualifying times for restricted-entry meets, and will largely be in the intermediate school age group where meets like Junior Festival and AIMS are the big focus events for the year.

National Development

National Development swimmers are typically at, or about to enter, high school, and have developed a keen interest in squad swimming. Ideally, but not exclusively, they are regular participants in local and regional swim meets, including NZ Secondary Schools, and may also be targeting national senior age group qualification.

National Performance

National Performance is Trojans' premier competitive training squad catering for our most accomplished swimmers, who are competing in New Zealand's senior age group and open championship events. Swimmers will have a proven commitment to training and are driven to improve. ​​​​​​​
