Squads

At Hooked Swim, our priority is to help your child reach their swimming potential.

Hooked Swim’s squad programs are designed to improve technique, fitness, and speed in the water. Whilst also fostering a passion for the sport that can be carried throughout life. Our squads encourage character development, hard work, and leadership to produce results. We believe a healthy balanced lifestyle, a strong work ethic and an element of fun form the breeding ground of success.

In conjunction with our swimming club, the Highlanders Swimming Club, our squads provide a platform to progress from Club nights to Nationals Championships. We pride ourselves on attention to detail with technique and a strong work ethic in a fun environment.

However, we understand that not all swimmers have the goal of competing at the highest level, so we also have our Age and Senior Surf Squad, which provides another alternative to reach your goals. Please enquire for more information.
