Otters and Dolphins

Welcome to the Otters and Dolphins squads, our premier competitive teams focused on achieving excellence in racing and aiming for county and regional qualifying times. In these squads, we emphasise rigorous training and discipline to maintain a high standard of performance and set a positive example for all.

Otters benefit from 4.25 hours of pool time per week, while Dolphins enjoy 4.75 hours. To optimise progress, Otters should aim for at least two weekly sessions, while Dolphins are encouraged to attend three.

Progression through our top competitive squads is determined by timed assessments on distance freestyle and individual medley, conducted at least three times a year.

Our coaching team comprises esteemed professionals dedicated to honing your skills and guiding you towards success. Led by Charles Dainton (Level 3 Coach), the team includes Mark Horrod (Level 2 Coach), Sarah Young (Level 2 Coach), Matt Rafiq-Craske (Level 1 Coach), Nicola Evans (Level 2 Teacher), and Tom Osborn (Level 1 Teacher).
