RASCALS Learn to Swim Framework/ Development Squad

Children are able to join our Foundation Squad programme once they have completed the Swim England Stage 5 Award and are able to confidently swim at least 25m of all four swimming strokes. Once swimmers have enrolled, we develop their swimming skills whilst also introducing competitive techniques, such as diving and tumble turns to prepare them for the exciting arena of competition speed swimming.

Our programme is solely based in the main pool and is geared towards the competitive side of the sport. Once completed, swimmers progress into the Club’s Development Squad.

Ideally children will be aged between 6-10 years old when looking to join at this level, but we will consider enquiries from all aspiring swimmers!

We operate regular trial sessions, so if you are interested in joining, please do get in touch: HeadCoach@ripleyrascals.org.uk
