Development is for new swimmers and swimmers under the age of 10.

Swimmers can move from Development following discussion with coaching team around ability and stamina to either the Fitness Route or Competitive Route, or when they turn 10.

The Competitive Route will support swimmers to improve technique, stamina, and times with the aim of attending competitions regularly.

The Fitness Route is for those who wish to swim for fitness without the aim of competing. These swimmers will still train alongside those of similar ability, stamina and times.

These routes are a guide, and swimmer progress and training expectations can be discussed at any time with the coaching team.

All swimmers will be encouraged to participate in Border League and Duns 500 competitions.
