🏊♂️ Train to Perform — The SPEEDISWIM Competitive Squad
Every Stroke Counts. Every Race Builds Character.
At SPEEDISWIM, we believe that not every athlete can be the winner of a race — but every swimmer can strive for their best performance. Our Competitive Swimming Squad focuses on achieving Utmost Performance — where swimmers train with discipline, compete with courage, and celebrate every Personal Best (PB) as a milestone of progress.
Who This Is For
- Junior Racers (7–12 years) — developing race skills and a love for competition.
- Secondary School Athletes (13–16 years) — refining technique, pacing, and endurance.
- Pre-National Prospects (16+ years) — building consistent performance through data-driven training.
- CCA & School-Team Swimmers — balancing studies and sport with structure and support.
Our training schedules are purposefully designed for Singapore’s student-athletes to pursue excellence — both in school and in sport.
Our Pathway — Towards Your Best Performance
SPEEDISWIM’s Train to Performance pathway is built on the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model and encourages progression from skill mastery to performance excellence.
| Squad | Age Guide | Pathway Stage | Focus & Purpose | Weekly Load | Key Goals |

| Developmental Squad | 7–12 yrs | Learn to Train | Transition from Learn-To-Swim to pre-competitive training. Master stroke efficiency, endurance, and confidence. | 3–4 sessions / week | Build strong fundamentals and readiness for racing. |
| Junior Age Group Competitive | 12 & under | Train to Compete (Junior) | Develop race strategies, pacing skills, and mental readiness. Focus on all strokes and IM. | 4–5 sessions / week | Achieve consistent PBs at club and school-level meets. |
| Senior Age Group Competitive | 13 & above | Train to Compete (Senior) | Specialize by event, strengthen aerobic and anaerobic capacity, and execute race plans under pressure. | 5–6 sessions / week | Qualify for National Age Group (SNAG) and Schools Nationals. |
| Elite Competitive Squad | By Selection | Train to Performance (TeamSG Pathway) | Refine peak performance cycles using sports science, biomechanical analysis, and mental conditioning. | 6–8 sessions / week | Attain Personal Bests at National and International competitions. |
Progression between squads is determined through twice-yearly assessments (May & November) based on attendance, technical proficiency, and race results.
Our Four Training Pillars
🏊 Technique Excellence
Flawless technique is the foundation of every great performance. We refine each stroke, turn, and start with precision — supported by underwater video and biomechanical feedback.
🔥 Performance Conditioning
Training plans are periodised to build endurance, race-pace speed, and recovery efficiency, empowering swimmers to perform at their peak during competitions.
💪 Mindset & Habits
Swimmers learn consistency, focus, and goal-setting. We measure success through effort, attitude, and Personal Bests — because performance is built day by day.
