At Aquatots, we offer a squad-level program designed for children who have completed their learn-to-swim journey but wish to continue swimming for competitive or fitness reasons. Our development squads prepare children for transitioning to a competitive squad program if they choose to pursue swimming as a sport.
Children in our squads will have the opportunity to work as a team, attend team events, and participate in swimming carnivals.
Once your child reaches a squad level, they will be required to have the following equipment:
- Kickboard
- Pull buoy
- Goggles
- Cap
- Drink bottle
- Short blade flippers
