Our Squads & Training
Hart SC Operates a squad system from Skills based to Competitive swimming. Swimmers typically join us from Swim England Stage 6 and can remain swimming with us until their 90's in our Masters Squad.
As swimmers progress through the squad system, the number of training sessions & hrs per week increases as their skills grow. Please refer to the latest Training Schedule for more information.
