Silver Squad

Silver Squad

The Silver squad is the first of the 2 competitive pathway squads. Swimmers in the squad must meet the entry requirements and agree to attend the required sessions detailed in the athlete agreement. Swimming for these athletes is their #1 sport. The athlete agreement includes some performance questions for both the athlete and coach and is reviewed bi-annually.

The aim of this squad is to introduce the swimmer to a higher level of training to improve strength, endurance, technique and SPEED! Swimmers should be aiming to obtain Silver standard in the JX program. Squad members will notice an increase in session intensity with the program specifically designed to provide athletes with the training they require to meet their competitive aspirations. Coaches and swimmers will work together to ensure that stroke technique is maintained and altered so each individual has the most efficient and effective stroke. Swimmers are required to attend 14 sessions per Calendar month (3 per week). Silver squad members are working to acheive Silver JX standard along with State and National Age qualifying times.

Swimmers are expected to attend Riverside club days and participate in all scheduled events. Swimmers must also only attend target swim meets as determined by the coach competing in a range of different events and distances.
