SUPERFISH LEARN TO SWIM PROGRAMS
Superfish Swim Squads
From Strong Swimmers to Confident Competitors
Advanced Training, Technique and Endurance
A 3-LEVEL ADVANCED STROKE CORRECTION PROGRAM
PROGRAM QUICK LINKS:
Superfish Swim Squads are designed for children who have progressed beyond learn-to-swim and are ready to refine technique, build endurance and train with purpose.
Available across our Gold Coast and Brisbane centres, this level focuses on developing all four strokes, improving race skills and introducing structured squad training in a supportive, high-performance environment. Whether your child is aiming for school carnivals or progressing towards regional and state competition, our coaches guide every step with expert instruction and proven training methods.
These are our most advanced level of instruction, where swimmers transition into structured training programs designed to strengthen technique, improve fitness and build consistency in the water.
Sessions focus on stroke refinement, race skills, turns, starts and endurance, with swimmers encouraged to attend multiple sessions per week for optimal progression. Squad placement is based on ability, technique across all four strokes and overall readiness for training at this level.

Frequently Asked Questions

What days and times are available for squads training?
Please see your Superfish Centre for session days and times.
Are Superfish Swim Schools swimming pools heated and indoors?
Yes, our swimming pools are totally indoor and heated to an average of 31.5˚, offering your family year round swimming facilities. Our pool water is checked 3-4 times a day for correct chlorine and PH levels. We consistently maintain our pools so they are always in the healthiest condition. The pools are specifically designed for teaching and coaching. We provide comfortable, heated change facilities, parent viewing area/grandstand, children’s enclosed play area with TV/Video and café.
Do you offer make up squad sessions
Yes we do offer make-up lessons. Please carefully read our Sqads Payments, Policies and Procedures brochure full details.
Why do we assess to begin in Squad, when they were in a Squad at another swim school?
It is a trend in a number of Swimming Schools across Australia to promote children to ‘mini’ squads or ‘junior’ squads prematurely. This enables these facilities to have large numbers of children in ‘Mini or Junior Squads’, with 10 to up to 30 children in a ‘Squad’, benefitting only the financial effectiveness of being able to have one ‘Coach’ instructing this large number of swimmers. It is a lot ‘less’ cost effective for us at SUPERFISH to keep children in classes with 1 instructor with a small number of children, until they have developed advanced and efficient stroke techniques in all 4 strokes. However, it is what we believe and know it is the only way for a child to have the best techniques possible, whether they decide to become competitive swimmers, or, as a life skill - being able to swim for the rest of their lives, with good swimming techniques. Your child needs to be able to swim all 4 strokes effectively and with good techniques, BEFORE entering a Squad Program.
