Development Squads

Development (Bronze, Silver and Gold)
This is the Squad for our younger swimmers who are in their early years of competition. Swimmers in this Squad are typically aged between 8-12 and have made the decision to go down the competitive swimming pathway. Sessions are based on Skill and Technique, with aerobic work and basic speed. All swimmers have good commitment levels and are regularly racing in meets set out by the coaching staff. The ethos is to have fun whilst developing key skills and fitness levels. This Squad will hopefully lead to Juggernaut if swimmers have the right ability, commitment and maturity to train effectively to a very high standard.

From 1st Sept 2016 Gold swimmers will also be offered one 50m training session per month with Juggernaut B squad at Liverpool Aquatics Centre in Wavertree, Liverpool, 10am-12pm. It is really important to let Claire Brown know if you intend to swim so the appropriate set is prepared by the coach for the swimmers attending.

Please note: Gold swimmers MUST NOW pay or swipe in to the Thursday session. (From 1st Jan 18)

Land Training will be held in the Dance Studio on a Tuesday evening 6-7pm for Silver and Gold from 26th March 19 onwards.

Holiday Training Sets 2016 

Summer Training Schedule 2019:

All training is on as usual up to and including Sunday 4th August (except Transition - see below).
Week beginning Monday 5th August Summer Training Schedule will begin and will consist of:
  • No weekday morning training. 
  • No land training. 
  • All evening, SJD and Saturday morning training will be on as usual. 
  • Bank Holiday Monday 26th is on, 7-9am for All Juggernaut, Platinum and Gold.
All Training resumes as normal Saturday 31st August.
Transition extra sessions:
During August (3rd, 10th, 17th, 23rd & 31st), Transition C can swim on Saturday from 5-6pm at Winsford and Transition B and A swimmers can swim an additional 30 minutes on a Saturday until 6.30.
These extra sessions will be primarily to practice starts from the blocks and turns in preparation for the Club Championships.
 
I hope all our swimmers and their families have a good summer break, mentally and physically recharging the batteries. It is however important to keep base fitness levels up and come back firing and even more motivated for the 2019-2020 season. I will look forward to welcoming each and every one of our swimmers back in September, I am sure the new season will be our best ever. Lots and lots to look forward too, nothing could be better than training and racing for Winsford Swim Team.
 
Thanks
 
Dan.
