Intermediate swimmers who are ready to take on the next challenge will move on to X Lab’s Junior Competitive Squad!

This swim programme is exclusive to the current students attending Swim Lab’s intermediate swim programme by Swim Lab at Hwa Chong pool. 

Jointly designed and conducted by coaches at Swim Lab and X Lab – Sports Schooling’s Competitive Swim Squad, the curriculum will place emphasis on teaching kids how to swim the right way – so that they do not just learn how to perform a certain stroke, but understand and master its technical components, acquire competition techniques and then be given the opportunities to take part inf friendly entry level meets to put their skills to the test and develop strength and resilience!

Pre-requisite:

  • Current Swim Lab swimmers with level I3 and above*

Swimmers must first arrange for a swim assessment to determine their eligibility for the Development Squad. This ensures proper placement based on skill level. Non-Swim Lab students are welcome to join, subject to meeting the required standards during the assessment.

About the assessment:

  • A swim assessment is mandatory for all current and new students to determine their suitability and proficiency for the Development Squad.
  • Placement in the squad will be based on the assessment results and the coaches’ recommendations.
  • The assessment must be completed prior to registration.
  • Swim Lab reserves the right to reassess and adjust placements if necessary.

Programme structure:

  • 90 mins/lesson
    • 20mins land-based strength & conditioning
    • 70min pool training

What Development Swimmers Learn/ Achieve:

  • All elements covered in Intermediate Levels I3-I8
  • Better stroke technique and efficiency
  • Enhance strength, power and endurance through water and  land-based strength and conditioning
