Juggernaut Squad
This is the highest level squad in the club. It is for swimmers who are of at least a County Standard in a number of events and distances. Swimmers are expected to have the right attitude, commitment and work ethic to reach their full potential. All swimmers have to race regularly under the guidance from the coaching staff and make themselves available for all team galas. All swimmers are expected to train to the best of their ability and commit 100% to our club, coaches and team mates. The focus is to develop and nurture swimmers to achieve Regional and National standards. The ethos for the squad
is to be extremely focused on working hard and working together as a team to achieve success at the highest levels.

50m training in Liverpool
Once or twice a month members of the Juggernaut squad will be invited, by email, to 50m training at the Liverpool Aquatics Centre in Wavertree, Liverpool 10am-12pm.
It is really important to let Dani Stonier (winsfordtm@gmail.com) know if you intend to swim so the appropriate set is prepared by the coach for the swimmers attending.
As the club usually only has 2 or 3 lanes, the squad is sometimes split in to Juggernauts A, B and C for these sessions. Please reply to the email promptly to secure your swimmer's place.
