About the squad

City of Hereford Swimming Club's Competition squad provides a dedicated and intensive training programme with access to nine water sessions and one dryland training session. Training is based around a Long Term Athlete Development model with some sessions targetted at particular age groups within the squad. It is important the swimmers record their own training and achievements and this will be expected to be in the form of LOG BOOKS. Swimmers within the squad are expected to meet a range of criteria which will assist in their development and improve their performance. It is also important that swimmers within this squad are adequately equiped.
