Welcome to Learn to Train, the advanced stroke, skills, and race development squads of our club. Once you’ve honed your skills and achieved the necessary times in Learn to Swim, it’s time to dive into serious stamina, speed, and technique development.

Under the guidance of our dedicated coaches, you’ll undergo rigorous training to refine your stroke technique, enhance your skills, and master the art of racing. Our belief is that a fast swimmer must have impeccable technique and skills, which we prioritise in every training session.
