When Tracy is away, we are looked after by one of our cover coaches – Emil or Esten.

Swimming Ability Required
Am I good enough?
If you can swim 400m of Freestyle continuously, irrespective of speed, you are good enough to join us.
When you first start swimming with us, you may find the sessions quite hard. This is normal and will improve relatively quickly. It is OK to sit out some laps and rest, or even finish early, until you have built up some stamina.

Attending for the first time
We understand it can be daunting turning up the first time to an activity / group you do not know. To help you feel more comfortable, one of our committee members will look out for you and introduce themselves.
Please:
- Bring your own equipment, especially a pull buoy
- Aim to arrive on deck 10 minutes early
- Introduce yourself to our friendly coach, Tracy, who will welcome you to the session, and help you to choose which squad lane is most suitable for your level.
- Enjoy your swim!
