Kings has always been a leader in stroke technique at all squad levels. We have history and continued commitment to holistic development of young athletes, assisting them to become faster swimmers and better people. Our graduated squad system provides opportunities for members to develop their skills and compete from school level up to National level. 

Entry to each squad level – Bronze, Silver and Gold – is based on performance and ability. Swimmers will be assessed throughout the season or at the Coaches discretion, to determine their readiness to progress to higher squad levels. Progression through squads is at the Head Coach’s discretion.

We also offer a Silver Fitness Squad which is available to Gold and Silver squad members and only requires a commitment of 2 sessions per week. This is a great option for those squad members who want to continue swimming but are finding other commitments of either school or sport are preventing them from being able to achieve their 4 to 7 sessions weekly.
