The squad system provides a structured and efficient framework for swim programs, promoting clarity, motivation, and long-term athlete development. It allows coaches to deliver training that is developmentally appropriate, targeted, and effective, whether the focus is on foundational technique for junior swimmers or race preparation for senior athletes. By grouping swimmers based on skill level, age, and competitive goals, the system ensures high-quality coaching and individualized attention within each squad. It also establishes clear benchmarks, such as qualifying times, attendance, and skill milestones, that guide progression and keep swimmers motivated, focused, and aligned with their goals.
