Swim squad Aquarena

A comprehensive swimming program for all levels

In partnership with the Doncaster Templestowe Swim Club and Doncaster Dolphins Masters Swim Club, Active Manningham proudly hosts a diverse swim squad program, at our Aquarena venue.

Our combined efforts deliver a program that accommodates swimmers of all levels. Our squads span from junior beginners, providing a supportive environment for newcomers, to advanced programs designed for competitive swimmers, extending up to our inclusive masters’ program.

It’s a supportive community focused on technique development, endurance and friendly competition.

Junior swim squad

Programs to suit your level

Transition to squad

Our transition squad is designed to help children progress from our learn to swim program into our development stream of the squad program. The program runs for 1 hour, once a week, and helps children gain endurance, while learning to “speak the language” of squads.

This tailored program aims to help children wanting to be competitive swimmers and understand how to read the clock.

Requirements:

Children joining this group must be able to swim freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke with correct technique and timing.

Development stream

The primary focus of the development stream is technique and skill development. Each school term these squads train to compete in encouraged meet competitions, usually held towards the end of the term.

This initiative aims to introduce swimming as a competitive sport in an encouraging environment. It will also provide members with an opportunity to establish goals and work towards achieving them.

Requirements:

The members of Junior and Intermediate squads are required to have an Associate Membership with Doncaster Templestowe Amateur Swimming Club (DTASC).

Competitive stream

The Competitive Stream has been designed to provide all year-round training and to help all members in Development, State and National squads to achieve their competitive swimming goals.

Requirements:

It is a requirement for all members of the Development, State and National squads to have a full membership with DTASC as well as a competitive member with Swimming Victoria.

This membership allows swimmers to compete at all qualifying meets, as well as at state and national level competitions.
