Please see below some additional information in regards to the changes to the upcoming squad timetable.

To allow time to implement these changes over the coming two weeks, these will not formally commence until Monday 2 December.

Specific changes to the timetable are:

Swimfit squad:
o Tuesday and Thursday 5 to 6 am sessions are cancelled;
o Monday and Friday 12 to 1 pm sessions are suspended over the Summer;

Development squad:
o Afternoon training times remain the same;
o Tuesday and Thursday morning sessions have been cancelled;
o Saturday morning training will change to 6 – 7:30 am.

State Development squad:
o The State Development squad will be reintroduced. This will provide a great opportunity to further progress and develop the swimmers technique, skills and aerobic fitness before jumping up into the higher expectations of the State squad. Swimmers in the Development squad will be selected to transition into the State Development squad if they can swim a 200m individual medley with good technique and skills;
o The State Development squad will continue to predominately train in short course metres to ensure high levels of technical proficiency can be achieved over the whole session.

State squad:
o Three poolside land training sessions will be introduced in the afternoons (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 4 to 4:30 pm). This will provide a more accessible and safe environment for these swimmers to improve their strength, mobility and coordination. This will replace the current two sessions undertaken on Monday afternoon and Friday morning;
o A Friday afternoon session (4 to 6 pm) will be introduced and replace the Friday morning.
o The Saturday morning session has changed to 7:30 to 9 am.

National squad:
o National squad swim timetable remains unchanged.
o Gym sessions have changed to Wednesday afternoon (5 to 6 pm) and Saturday morning (8 to 9 am). These will be undertaken after their swim session on these days. These gym sessions will not commence until next year – 8 January 2025.
