At Aquatots, we offer a squad-level program designed for children who have completed their learn-to-swim journey but wish to continue swimming for competitive or fitness reasons. Our development squads prepare children for transitioning to a competitive squad program if they choose to pursue swimming as a sport.

Children in our squads will have the opportunity to work as a team, attend team events, and participate in swimming carnivals.

Once your child reaches a squad level, they will be required to have the following equipment:

• Kickboard
• Pull buoy
• Goggles
• Cap
• Drink bottle
• Short blade flippers
