To maximise potential and enjoyment for all our swimmers, Corby Amateur Swimming Club operates a squad system that puts swimmers in groups with others of similar standard, commitment and goals.

The Corby Swimming Academy takes children who have learned to swim under the ASA’s Learn to Swim frame-work and have typically reached Level 7, although we will consider children who have not yet reached this stage, if they have been identified as having above average ability.

Our County Squad is aimed at young swimmers with the potential and desire to swim fast. The level of training is a step up from the Academy and requires increased commitment from the squad members.

Our National and Regional Squads are for our elite swimmers, who have been identified as having potential to reach the highest level in the sport. The training in the Performance Squads is tough and a huge amount of self- discipline and commitment is needed, especially when you have to get up before dawn to go to early-morning training!
