Squad Information

All squad swimmers are expected to turn up to Tuesdays session at St Neots Swimming Pool for Club Night. We have our own notice board at this venue which is an important form of communication and provides information about future events such as Galas, team selection for galas etc.

Squad swimmers are split into Swans and Cygnets based on the swimmer's age, ability and commitment.

Cygnets

The cygnets should attend 3 to 4 sessions per week. The more sessions attended the greater the success for the swimmer. Cygnets become swans according to their age and ability. This is decided by the coach.

Swans

The swans should attend 4 to 5 sessions per week. The club needs all of its swimmers to reach the best possible standard, to allow all swimmers to compete at a high level.

Masters

Master swimmers are people aged 18 years and over who wish to swim, improve their style or learn new strokes and some compete. Master swimmers are split into age bands 18-24 years, 25-29 years and so on, in 5 year age bands. The Swans have a number of Master swimmers aged (22 to 75) who compete at county and national level and sometimes for the club in the Open category. We have recently been joined by a number of triathletes associated with the Riverside Runners who are training to improve both their stamina and speed to support their chosen sport.
There is also a small number of swimmers keen to explore Open Water opportunities and are known to enjoy the River Great Ouse in St. Neots for a fresh water, chlorine free swim. A member enjoyed a Swimtrek holiday in 2008. Also club supported the Serpentine Swimming Club river race at Oundle in 2007 and 2008, the Sandown to Shanklin Isle of Wight swim in 2007 and 2008 and the Solent SC 2 / 4 km sea swim in July 2008.
