Swimmers who have trained in Junior 1 for at least three months may be ready to join - please check before joining.

Swimmers may join at any time.

The season starts in July each year, so we usually recommend joining in July/August to get the best value from the annual club membership.

Competitive swimmers typically attend a swim meet 2-3 times per term. Most swim meets run for about 3-4 hours and are held on a Saturday or Sunday (morning or afternoon).

Refer to our competition calendar for the list of swim meets suitable for each squad.
