Improver's will progress onto the Intermediate squad when the Head Coach feels they have reached a competent level that will support them with the demands of the next level of swimming.

This squad currently swims three times a week for a total of 3½ hours. There is also one hour of land training available on Sunday evening 6:00pm – 7:00pm. Some of this time may be spent swimming alongside the younger swimmers from the Junior Squad.

The demands of this squad are much higher than those of Improvers. There are fewer coaches and swimmers are expected to be able to listen, remember, organise themselves and to be able to use the clock to time themselves and to know when to set off.

The first few weeks training in this squad will be physically demanding and swimmers may feel extremely tired.

Swimmers will also need to purchase a kick board, pull buoy, and fins to aid their training, please ask at the All Seasons reception for more details. 

At this level swimmers will be expected to compete in the Clubs Internal Galas, some swimmers may be asked to compete for the club in the Micro-League and swimmers should also consider entering certain Open Meet Competitions (see the Galas page for more details on the different competitions).

All swimmers in this squad are expected to achieve a minimum 75% attendance.
