Thursday AM: Regional 1 & 2

Swimmers aged 11 yeas and over, land land training will begin at 6.30am and finish at 7:00am.

An expectation when moving to National Age Group squad is to attend the full pool session 5:00am until 7:00am, attending this will help you get in the routine to stay until 7:00 am should you be selected for promotion.

Sunday PM: Regional 1 & 2

Regional 1 land training will begin at 5.20pm and finish at 6.00pm

Regional 2 land training will begin at 5.00pm and finish at 5:40pm
