Our Squads
We are able to accept swimmers who have reached the standard of ASA Stage 6 all the way up to national-level swimmers. Swimmers are welcome to come for a trial with a member of the City of Canterbury coaching staff, where we will assess their swimming strokes to allocate them to the most suitable group. All of our pool training sessions run in the main pool at Kingsmead Leisure Centre, Canterbury. The club coaches will progress swimmers through the stages at their own discretion.
