Squad Swimming
Your swimmer will continue their progress and development in our Squads which focus on technique and endurance. Our Squads run during Term 4, 2019 and Term 1, 2020. Lessons are all based in the main 25m pool and our qualified tutors will ensure each swimmer receives individual attention every lesson.
Level 1 Squads - Orca
Our Orca Squad is a skill based programme working on all four strokes with an endurance component. All sessions are in the 25m pool. Orca Squad members train once a week and each session is 45 minutes. Choose one of the following days:
Tuesday 4:00pm - 4:45pm
OR
Wednesday 4:00pm - 4:45pm
Level 2 Squads - Prep
Based in the 25m pool our Prep Squad swimmers continue to build their skills and endurance and lay the platform to move into competitive swimming or surf life saving. Our Prep Squad runs twice a week, and each session is one hour long. Our Prep Squad swims on the following days:
Monday 4:00pm - 5:00pm
AND
Thursday 4:00pm - 5:00pm
Level 3 Squads - Seahorses
The Hampden Street Swim School works closely with Nelson South Swimming Club. Nelson South offers an exceptional swimming programme which is a great introduction and pathway into competitive swimming. Members of the Seahorse Squad swim up to three sessions per week.
If you would like to join the Seahorse Squad and Nelson South Swimming Club your swimmer will need to complete a five minute assessment which take place on week-days between 4:00 and 5:00pm. Touch base with Glen or Delys poolside to organise a time-slot. Club membership and squad fees are paid directly to the Club
