Competitive Squads

For all Competitive Squad enquiries please contact the Evolution Administration Team at evo4swim@gmail.com

Members who enjoy racing will have the skills and technical ability to continue on a competitive swimming pathway following the completion of Stroke Tech. EVO's competitive pathway offers support for swimmers to take the step up from local to regional, and national-level competitions.

Members of our competitive squads are expected to make swimming a priority sport.

Regional Squad

Regional Squad members continue detailed technique development while increasing their aerobic and anaerobic fitness through an increase in training volume at graduated intensities. The Regional Squad training programme facilitates conditioning to support their target competitions - Swimming BOP Junior Clash, Zespri AIMS Games, Aquaknights Junior Festival, and New Zealand Secondary School Swimming Championships.

Regional Squad members can attend up to five sessions a week
