Gippy Squad

GIPPY SQUAD

Swimmers progress from the Junior Development Squad to the Gippy Squad upon advice from the Coaching Panel. Swimmers will further develop their Strength and Conditioning and enhance their swimming and race skills learnt from the Junior Development Squad. Body position, technique and discipline surrounded by great effort are the hallmark of this squad.

Swimmers in this Squad must compete in the local Gippsland competition both in the Winter/Spring (June – September) and Summer (October – March) meets. Participation is required in 2 Winter/Spring and a minimum of 5 Summer meets which will qualify the swimmer for Gippsland Championships and a Club Trophy at Presentation Night. The participation in All Junior competition in February – March is also a compulsory requirement. If qualified for Country Championships swimmers must also compete.

3 x Swim, 2 Strength & Conditioning Sessions per week.

SQUAD FEES

Participation in the squad system is considered to be an annual involvement; therefore the total fees have been averaged out to produce the monthly amount. The same monthly fee is payable for all 12 months of the year. Fees will be charged regardless of a swimmers attendance.

The only exceptions are prolonged absences of more than 4 weeks through injury, illness or family commitments. Please complete the Squad Fee Adjustment Form (found under ” Members/Resources”)
