Squad Training is the flagship of our Swim School.
Squad Test
Pupils wishing to move into Squad training must first pass the squad test - 200 metres freestyle, 100 metres backstroke, 100 metres breaststroke, 50 metres butterfly. All strokes must be performed with a suitable degree of proficiency.
Gullivers has become renowned for churning out young champions many of whom started with us as beginners and progressed through levels1-6 before graduating to Squad.
3 levels of Squad Training.
BRONZE SQUAD - is the most elementary of our three Squad levels and is a developmental Squad designed to offer a low key transition for those coming into Squad Training for the first time. Pupils learn the basic concept of training, loop swimming, interval training, using the pace clock, starts and turns, finishes, racing techniques and more.
Sessions are 30 minutes and swimmers have a choice of training times with year round sessions at 5pm daily as well as 3:30pm on Monday, Wednesday, & Friday. In summer we have morning sessions too, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 6:45am.
SILVER SQUAD - For those who are deemed good enough and have the motivation and enthusiasm to take their swimming to another level there is the Silver Squad where training is stepped up to a new intensity in order to equip members with all the skills and experience they need to perform well in their school carnivals and district school trials. Sessions are 60 minutes and are held daily year round, Monday to Friday at 4.00pm and Saturday at 7:00am. In summer we have morning session too, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 5:45am.
GOLD SQUAD - is for those with golden dreams. Gold Squad members are usually School Age Champions, represent their school at District level and most are selected in the Gold Coast Regional teams. Every year we have members of our Gold Squad selected in the Queensland Schools team and compete at National Age and National Open titles. Gold Squad members train six times a week in winter and have the option of extra before school morning sessions in summer, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 5:45am.
