COMMITMENT

Members of the Senior A team will be expected to attend two training sessions per week during Term 1 on Sundays and Wednesday evenings. All those registered will receive a pre season swimming programme they can use to prepare for the season. It is important that students wanting to play at the top level have a strong swimming fitness level and there will be time trials at the first training session for the year. 

The Senior A will also attend three tournaments during Term 1. 

If enough students register to play in 2024, trials will be held before the season starts. For those students who don't make Senior A, we will put in a more social team in a lower division. These students will need to attend one training session per week.
